Many people don’t know where to start learning with Accessibility. This talk is about my first-year journey on how I started to learn about WordPress and Accessibility.

We all love to see sites that are fast, user-friendly, accessible, secure and reliable. But how do you get there? In this talk, we’ll share how we use the various aspects of “performance” to guide decisions from product ideation through actual software, and how we measure and tool for success.

This is a mindset, not just a single metric: We care a lot about page speed, conversion and beyond. and in our opinion, “a better web” is a more performant web, which starts with a core practice is to love our customers (and our customers’ customers). We’ll share tactics you can take back to your team to argue for a better, more performant way to engage with your users.

We’ll cover:

1. How do you foster collaboration across product, design and engineering stakeholders without losing collective sight of success?
2. What does “performance” mean to the different stakeholders in your organization?
3. Why is it more important than ever to think about your website performance and how to measure your success?

Joining such a welcoming and inspiring community as is the WordPress project can be exhilarating and makes people want to contribute their part to join the movement and strengthen their feeling of belonging.

The initial enthusiasm can easily lead to contributors slowly spiraling into overcommitment and a feeling of obligation and responsibility towards the project. There’s a cost attached to anything we do, even when we’re talking about unpaid volunteer work done in spare time. And that cost will be paid in some way, no matter what.

We need to more openly talk about the adverse effects of doing open source contributions in an unsustainable way, destigmatize the money topic when it comes to “free” software, and directly address immediate issues of frustration and burn-out as they surface.

Let’s all have our fellow contributors’ backs, and make sure we’re all in it for the long run!
