WordPress seems like the total opposite of Jamstack, and is often used to explain what Jamstack is not, i.e. “My Jamstack site is so fast and secure, it’s nothing like WordPress!” (said every Redditor ever ☺). And yet, WordPress developers (yes, there is such a thing) are enthusiastically exploring tooling and solutions for enabling the 39% of the internet running on WordPress to also benefit from the joys of the Jamstack. In this talk we’ll look at where WordPress is right now vis a vis the Jam, and what challenges lie ahead.
