One of my favorite mini-tools for perf is RespImageLint ausi.github.io/respimagelint/

It’s a JS bookmarklet that evaluates all your images. Once you dump a srcset on an image, IT WILL TELL YOU THE RIGHT SIZES ATTRIBUTE! I’m lazy, so this is perfect.👏 t.co/Y0PDf6j3R7

@AWSreInvent I’m data transfer pricing, because you will never see me in a #reInvent keynote.

But stop using my clients’ admin dashboard as an advertising platform. That’s not its purpose, and all you’re doing is cheapening the #WordPress experience. /end rant
