On March 10–11, 2026, the Performance Bootcamp online event is taking place, focused entirely on website speed and performance.

Last year the organizers ran Cloud Bootcamp, which was dedicated to website security. This year the focus has shifted to something just as important — performance.

Website speed is no longer just a technical metric. It directly affects:

• conversions
• SEO rankings
• user experience
• overall revenue for online businesses

Many websites perform well in synthetic speed tests but struggle under real traffic. This event focuses on the practical side of performance — how to build systems that remain fast when real users start hitting your site.

What Makes Performance Bootcamp Interesting

The event runs for two days and is completely free to attend. It includes technical talks, live demonstrations, and real-world troubleshooting sessions.

Some of the highlights include:

Live Site Teardowns
Experts analyze slow websites and show where performance issues actually come from.

Practical Performance Fixes
Real code reviews, infrastructure tips, and server configuration improvements you can apply to your own projects.

Interactive Challenges
Participants can test their technical knowledge and compete on a leaderboard.

Community
The event brings together more than 1,500 developers, agencies, and website owners dealing with similar performance challenges.

Speakers

The lineup includes people who work with web performance every day:

• Sabrina Zeidan — WordPress Performance Expert
• Shane Bishop — Founder of EWWW Image Optimizer
• Georgi Petrov — Founder & CEO at Uxify
• Thijs Feryn — Technical Evangelist at Varnish Software
• Remkus de Vries — Co-Founder & CEO at Scanfully
• Adam Silverstein — Owner at Round Earth

Who Might Benefit From This Event

In my opinion, this event is especially useful for:

• developers working on performance optimization
• agencies managing multiple client websites
• ecommerce teams trying to improve conversion rates

If you work with platforms like Magento, WordPress, or other large web applications, performance can quickly become complicated. Events like this are a good way to see how others approach these problems.
