Stop Guessing, Start Diagnosing: Modern WordPress Performance

Performance problems are rarely where you think they are. This session introduces a systematic, layer-by-layer approach to diagnosing WordPress performance issues — from server response times and database queries all the way through to the frontend — so you stop guessing and start finding real answers.

Ramon will walk through the most common bottlenecks seen in real-world WordPress sites and how to surface them quickly, with a practical look at profiling and monitoring tools like Query Monitor. He’ll also cover where AI tools genuinely help in the debugging workflow — and where they get in the way.

You’ll leave with a clear diagnostic framework and a set of high-impact fixes you can apply immediately, without needing to overhaul your entire stack.
