Core Web Vitals are essential metrics for measuring performance, accessibility, and user experience — and Google is watching. In this session, we’ll walk through practical strategies for optimizing a Drupal 10 site to improve LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), FCP (First Contentful Paint) and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift). We'll cover theme-level techniques, smarter asset loading, image optimization, and caching strategies using Drupal, Redis, Cloudflare, and Pantheon. Ideal for developers or site builders looking to boost performance with real-world examples and clear takeaways.

Accessibility and SEO go hand in hand. Creating and entering website content is always better when SEO and accessibility are considered up front, rather than addressed retroactively. In this interactive discussion, one of our accessibility leads will share an actionable checklist of SEO and accessibility strategies that content editors and admins can use right away. Learn how these proven accessibility and SEO tactics actually impact and work with one another and how these can be structured within your CMS to make it easy for content admins and editors to make good accessibiilty and SEO decisions for their websites.
