Site Speed Nerd Roasts Our Setup 🔥 (Ep. 331)

Описание: Did you know that Google is about to introduce a new web vital metric? 😨

Neither did we.

But this news did prompt us to take another look at our site speed setup, and we wanted to bring in a pro to help us out. So in this week's episode, Gael chats with Brian Jackson - the guy behind the enthusiast site speed plugin, Perfmatters.

He's seen hundreds of site setups, this week he critiques our setup and gives you tips on how to fix your setup as well.

If you've ever wondered:
👉 if the number of plugins you use is cutting your site speed
👉 what the best CDN setup is
👉 what caching plugins you should never use...

...or even if you should delay or defer your JavaScript, then you won't want to miss this one.
