Domains are my vice. Also have w.org. Ma.tt. I would rather have a cool IP address (like Cloudflare's) or domain than a fancy car or boat.
When are .wp TLDs coming?
They already own .blog

Wordpress is one of those things I've plenty of experience with, but leave off my résumé and avoid mentioning to bosses and colleagues, so I won't get roped into that bullshit if it comes up—and it often does , sooner or later. "Wordpress? I can take a look if you need me to, but I don't really know much about that. I think Fred said something about Wordpress the other day, maybe ask him...." I've known others who co…
I have thought about making a plugin. The plugin documentation/architecture is a bit gnarly (at least from what I remember). That being said, I feel like most WordPress plugins are awful. I've sometimes wondered if I could make a better version of X plugin, but I fear I'm missing something - like providing customer support or covering every version of WP.

#174WordPress was where I got my start, a while ago now. From poking around with PHP files, to building my own things, to Django, and on. It would have been inconceivable back then (mid noughties) that the whole thing could be done client side. The Web has come on a long way. These days I tend to hate WordPress with a passion. Occasionally I will be asked to peek at some technical problem with a WordPress installation an…

I have spent a significant amount of time developing a product (developer tool) related to WordPress. I have put it on hold recently and I'm trying to evaluate if perhaps I should not do something else instead. I have had this feeling one year ago, that the WP development market may be shrinking and it was further amplified by ChatGPT release. Does anyone feel that way? Is the time still right to develop something, launch it in some 2 years and be sure that if the product has any potential, the market is still ripe in 5 -10 years from now?

Just come to WP.com and we'll run it super-fast, auto-updated, and secure for $25/mo.
Does wordpress.com used a forked version? Last time I remember that the custom themes were limited for the hosted solution. Maybe this was for performance reasons?
On the business plan (25/mo) you can run any plugin or theme, or custom code. You also have full SSH/SFTP and wp-cli access.

What's the answer to making WordPress sites faster? I too have tried better hardware, CDNs, plugins like WP Super Cache, and others means of optimizing. Very little impact. Is the problem PHP? I'm thinking of trying one of those plugins that convert the WordPress site to static web site. I'd imagine that'd have a big impact, at least for sites that don't need e.g. login, shopping carts, etc.
I worked on a Strattic conversion some time back - they basically scrape all your pages and serve them statically, but you do have to do some things to support search, forms, etc and you'll end up pruning plugins that don't work well with it. But, serving static pages is very very fast afterwards.
Bet on Moore's Law and go fully dynamic.

#178"Whether you want to build a note-taking application for mobile devices, an automated testing environment, or demo a live WooCommerce store on your site – Playground will support you." The last two make a ton of sense, but the idea of building a mobile app that's powered by Wordpress running PHP in webassembly in the browser is wrecking my brain.
The notes app is a real thing! https://wptavern.com/blocknotes-app-runs-wordpress-natively-...

Absolutely. The other day, I took my slow Wordpress server hosted at Vultr on bare metal (£200/pm) and put it on a server at £500 per month and even after doing all the performance tuning I could with MySQL and PHP I couldn’t notice a difference in speed when I was on the back-end where Cloudflare wasn’t caching it. I then tested on a lower performance server which costs £80 per month at Vultr and again couldn’t dete…

I've got a client using LearnDash, BuddyBoss, WPML, ACF and Woo for their subscription platform. It's dog-slow on the uncached pages, even on a very beefy server with only 5 concurrent users, choking the database apparently. Serving only 2 countries so don't need a CDN per se. (Why) Would this be faster on wp.com?

I just noticed WP.com Business tier exists recently. It’s a no-brain, indeed. On Thursday I signed with you guys and planning to move my site today. (Wish me luck!) Moving will save me ~90% of what I was paying for a managed VPS.
