Astro - How to Build faster websites

During my workshops, I want to introduce you to Astro. Astro is a JavaScript framework created with website speed and developer experience in mind.

It benefits from island architecture and zero JavaScript runtime to ensure the website won't load any unused resources.

I also mentioned that Astro was created with developer experience in mind. The possibility to bring your own framework, the way how code is organized, and the great documentation are the key ingredients to that experience.

During my workshops we'll build a website that will both use Markdown Collections and APIs to fetch content.

How we closed almost 1000 plugins in a month - a story of the biggest WordPress bug bounty hunt

In October 2024, our usual bug bounty hunt resulted in receiving 1570 valid reports and closing almost 1000 plugins from the official WordPress repository. This huge number looks scary and seems once again to prove the fact that WordPress ecosystem security is poor.

But is it?

Let's dive deeper into how it all happened, what were the consequences, and what we can learn from this.

Is Astro the ultimate front-end framework?

Let's talk about Astro. While it's a relatively new JS framework it already become a benchmark for others especially when it comes to performance, developer experience, and flexibility.

It was created as a static site generator, but now it also supports server-side functionality. It benefits from island architecture and tries to ship as little JS as possible.

In my talk, I will cover all the basics regarding Astro and show all the latest features.

I will end my presentation with live coding showing how easy it is to customize Astro and connect it to a headless CMS.

Is the headless architecture really the future for CMSs?

There are many companies and experts all over the world claiming that headless architecture is something that will not only change how we develop software but also make our websites and applications faster and more secure.

But is it true? Together we'll dive into many aspects of headless (like performance, developer experience, and security) so we can decide if headless is the true game-changer or just an empty buzzword.

Give WordPress a try - it’s not as bad as you think

WordPress is both the crowd favorite (with around 50% CMS market share) and a developer nightmare (winning the most dreaded platform in the Stack Overflow survey twice). In my talk, I want to show WordPress’ light and dark side. Especially since there are things that WP shines like no other CMS. I will walk you through what changed in WordPress during the last few years and what we should do to make it better.
