Are you building for the benefits of HTTP/3?

JavaScript or WordPress, it doesn't matter. HTTP/3 brings some big wins; make sure you're building for how the internet of today!

🤓Learn more from our own @moon_meister as he discusses how HTTP/3 has changed the conversation. 🚀

📦 What if bundling isn't the performance optimization it used to be?

@moon_meister makes the case that HTTP/3 has changed the rules, and it's time to rethink decades of web performance advice around bundling, caching, and network requests.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Joshua Baer. Josh was a major pillar of Austin’s tech and startup community and mentored many businesses and entrepreneurs in our space.

The Capital Factory, Josh’s startup accelerator and coworking space, was the first home for WP Engine, and Josh himself, our first angel investor. We are grateful for his early belief in us and for his guidance throughout our journey. Josh believed in ideas and the people behind them and dedicated his career to helping founders build, grow, and succeed.

His leadership and kindness will be incredibly missed within the community. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.
