Steve Schwartz: How An Attacker Sees Your Website – A View Through The Eyes of the Hacker
WordCamp Raleigh 2019Speaker: Steve SchwartzMay 10, 2019 — Why would a hacker hack YOUR website? For fun, for glory? Not anymore! Hacking websites is now a monetized criminal enterprise. They don’t care about your website, they care about your website computing resources. Come see what the hacker actually sees. Witness real accounts of your website password being guessed 1000’s of times per minute. See how that guy across from you at Starbucks is watching your web traffic as it floats through the Wi-Fi. See what happens when one of your employees gets tricked into opening that phishing email.
An understanding of what the bad guys know (and how easy it is for them to operate) will motivate you to take a proactive approach to security prior to a hack – instead of spending tens of thousands to get your data back after the fact. In other words, come get scared straight, you’ll appreciate it later!

Sarah Ovenall: Lightning Fast Performance with a Headless Home Page
WordCamp Raleigh 2019Speaker: Sarah OvenallMay 10, 2019 — The ability to customize with ease is one of WordPress’ best features. But customization often impacts performance. Add too many bells and whistles and you may end up with a site that’s sluggish and painful to use.
Decoupling, or using WordPress on the backend only, is an effective if somewhat drastic way to improve site performance. In this session we’ll learn a limited version of decoupling WordPress: a headless home page. Decoupling the home page gives you a functional, fast home page that displays WordPress content without invoking WordPress (and without the load time!). We’ll cover different approaches to serving WordPress content outside WordPress, how to seamlessly integrate a headless home page into the rest of the site, and challenges to look out for.
