Speaking and Workshops 🎤

Webmentions are an exciting standard which help enable the IndieWeb. We can own our own content, hosted on our own domains, without sacrificing social connection and replies with other people! In this talk, I discuss what webmentions are and how to implement them. The code is based on an Eleventy site, but the concepts should be applicable to any site.

Performance is important. Tooling can be hard. Do flame charts and waterfalls intimidate you? Come learn how to use common performance tools such as Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, and webpagetest.org. We'll profile several websites with different performance issues to illustrate how to use each tool. In this talk, I'll live-profile several sites to help you see how to approach performance analysis. It's best if you already know how to use the Chrome Dev Tools inspector, but we will approach the performance tools from a beginner's starting point. Attendees should be comfortable with HTML at a minimum.

In this month’s “State of” event, we’re bringing you the State of Web Performance. We will be talking with Community members, library authors and maintainers to discuss community initiatives, how to identify Performance challenges, metrics to measure and resources to help you.

103 Early Hints allow us to preconnect and even preload resources before the main document arrives. Come learn how the partnership between Shopify, Google, and Cloudflare led to this performance breakthrough, how Shopify is continuing to experiment with it at scale, and thoughts on what the future holds.

Excited to have the Shopify Merchant Performance Team join me next week as we explore their raison d'être + what to expect from this team as they help shape the future of e-commerce by keeping things fast! Join us.

A lot of e-commerce solutions exist, but many of them charge a monthly fee. How could we build a site with the lowest hosting costs possible? Sometimes the biggest challenge is coming up with an architecture that will work. In this talk, I will show you how I'm building an Eleventy shop for digital downloads using Stripe, Netlify, Sendgrid, and AWS. It's a sneak peek for a longer series where we will go step-by-step in the build.

Let Cloudinary make your image management easier! In this talk, I'll show how to set up responsive images in Eleventy using Cloudinary and Eleventy shortcodes. If time permits, I'll also show how I generate social share images using Cloudinary and Eleventy.

In this mini-workshop with Sia Karamalegos, we're going to finally get that to-do list item done - building and deploying your blog. We'll use Eleventy and Netlify, and if you've bought a domain, we'll also set that up too.

Serverless functions are a key skill to know when moving to Jamstack applications or serverless architecture. Going serverless means having no server to manage while also having the ability to scale infinitely. In this talk, we'll start with a basic, static Eleventy website then build in dynamic features like form handling and secure API access using serverless functions. We'll use the Netlify CLI to set up our dev environment and deploy to production on Netlify.

Fonts are lovely but can slow down our loads. How can we make them faster? We all love fonts. From Google Fonts to Typekit, Hoefler&Co and more, they give character and tone to our websites. The down side of fonts is that they can really slow down our loads. In this talk we'll learn about common pitfalls like critical requests depth and how to use resource hints to play tricks with latency to load web applications faster. We'll walk through a network profile to understand what's going on in the browser and how to make it faster.

Web performance matters. From SEO to bottom-line revenue impacts, performance can make or break your app. However, fixing performance feels like a quagmire of expert-level topics. What if I told you JavaScript bundle sizes could be cut up to 50% by doing one thing only? Nearly 90% of web traffic runs on modern browsers, but we're transpiling all of our JavaScript to ES5. That’s expensive. In this talk, we'll learn about differential serving, or serving both modern bundles and legacy bundles using webpack. This talk is framework agnostic, and best if you have at least a basic understanding of JavaScript.
