The new WordPress Performance Team, which includes contributors from Google and Yoast, is meeting to plan the next steps for coordinating efforts for improving WordPress performance. A kickoff meeting is happening on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
What is underway is an energized approach toward solving performance bottlenecks in all areas of WordPress, including plugins and themes.
Virtually everything is on the table, with currently 19 categories of focus-areas to improve.
The initial meeting is in the WordPress slack group. Those without access are encouraged to participate in the announcement comment area.
Initial plans for the performance team meeting:
- “lead the working groups formation
- coordinate the initial administrative tasks (slack channel, weekly meetings, schedule working groups representative nominations, etc.)
- create a mission statement for the team
- coordinate the areas to tackle
- outline the scope and the roadmap”

The meeting agenda lists three items, a welcome, an open floor (where people can speak freely) and a time for defining areas of focus.
