I’m speaking at Web Directions Enqueue

I’m thrilled to be part of the line up for Web Directions Enqueue, co presented by The Code Company, on November 28, 2025. Enqueue is to be one of the first engineering focused WordPress conferences in Australia, and the line up includes some of the best engineering minds in WordPress today, including Jono Alderson, Tammie Lister, Isabel Brison, Cameron Jones and too many more to mention.

I’ll be doing a deep dive into the performance improvements WordPress Contributors have added to the Query classes in recent years. 

The WordPress Performance team was established in 2021 with the goal of improving the performance of WordPress Core. As a fundamental part of rendering each and every page of a WordPress site, the WP_Query class has received a lot of attention.

In this talk, Peter will discuss how the performance of WP_Query and the WordPress Query component have been improved with increased caching, and how that can be taken full advantage of when building WordPress sites at scale.

There will also be talks about integrating WordPress with LLMs, accessibility and developer workflows.

Enqueue is taking place in Sydney on November 28, 2025 in the beautiful Dr Chau Chak Wing Building at UTS (the paper bag building). It will also be streamed via Conffab if you’re unable to make it in person.
