Okay, so maybe this will actually be the Complete-ish guide to Core Web Vitals in the end. But I want to take this post and explain what Google’s Core Web Vitals are. Not only that, but how they actually affect your website and what commonly affects these vitals (both positively and negatively). Lastly, we’re going to …
Google recently announced they would be doing away with the average position metric, replacing it with four new metrics. And I genuinely thought this would turn out to be a bigger deal than it actually is. And I was prepared to hold an unpopular opinion… one of supporting the change! This metric is one of the …
It’s interesting to me the thought processes that go into a paid project and how they compare to a personal project.

The Rails team has recently announced the timeline. Beta rounds are beginning in January and February; release candidates are March and April; and a hopeful final release date of April 30th has been set! Now obviously this can, and may, change. But, it’s a pretty solid bet at this point that we’re going to see a 6.0 …

What does this mean for us? Simply put- more consistent experiences between browsers when structuring and styling. Of course, this is the rendering …
WordPress released 5.0 earlier this month. Nicknamed “Bebo”, the most headlining feature of the release is the new Gutenberg editor. It’s also the source of most confusion and fear among WordPress users. But is that concern truly warranted?
