The WordPress news from the last week which commenced Monday 12th May 2025. Join Nathan Wrigley, Remkus de Vries, Tim Nash, Corey Maass as we discuss the news from the last 7 days. We dive into speed optimisation, with Remkus de Vries sharing why image optimisation isn’t everything. The panel discusses AI’s growing role in WordPress, accessibility, the end of the WordPress Media Corps, notable community updates, and new plugins like a media library tool and cart sidebar for WooCommerce. We also get into issues with Figma Sites’ code, WordCamp event updates, and the importance (and pitfalls) of obsessing over optimisation scores. It's all coming up on This Week in WordPress.
