How to get the best Google PageSpeed Insights scores for your website
Google PageSpeed Insights (PSI) is a system that Google uses to see how well your website is optimized for speed and usability on both mobile and desktop. Having a good PSI score is getting more and more important for getting at the top of the Google search results. And you can even be banned from mobile search. Unfortunately web designers often neglect to optimise their sites for PSI.
PSI takes dozens of factors into account. In this talk we will look at the most important factors and what you can do to get as high a PSI score as reasonably possible. There are several techniques that you can use without too much effort, that can have a huge impact. Having PSI scores of 90+ is well possible for most sites.
After this talk you will have a deeper insight into what Google PageSpeed Insights is all about and how you can optimize your sites to be ranked higher in the Google search results.

The secret to mastering WordPress Multi-site
WordPress multi-site is a powerful tool which lets you run thousands of websites with just one WordPress installation.
Developing for WordPress multi-site, however, is a fine art which too few have mastered.
But it doesn’t have to be hard – it’s all about understanding the difference in behaviour between a single site WP install and Multi-site and knowing which WordPress functions to use, when and how.
Join in and beat the competition by making your plugins compatible with WordPress Multi-site!

No Plugins Required: The tale of a DIY-agency
Plugins contribute to one of WordPress’ major strengths; it’s flexibility. But as with every major strength it also comes with a few big downsides, which we’ll explore in this talk.
This is a story about a WordPress agency that wanted to do something different; write almost everything themselves. The talk explores the following questions:
Why would you want to build yourself?
What is it that you are going to build?
and How would you go about doing this?
