After a 10-year hiatus, thinking of going to WordCamp Europe again this year. Who's there?!
Besides the other handsome bald Dutch guy who's always there. We all know who I mean.

Koko Analytics 2.3.4 just went out 🎉
A small update focused on reliability and polish: squashed an issue with importing from Plausible and Jetpack Stats, cleaner public dashboard behavior and a few UX improvements.

📬 Mailchimp for WordPress 4.12.2 is out!
- Campaign Archive block to showcase your past email campaigns
- Better WooCommerce Checkout Block support
- Mailchimp Site Tracking Pixel support
Update is now available on WordPress.org or from GitHub.
I wanted a way to quickly see P90 for WordPress stats on WP core versions and PHP version that sites are using.
Here it is: www.ibericode.com/wordpress-ec...
- P90 for PHP is still at 7.4
- P90 for WP is 6.1 (released Nov 2022).
The CMS is dead. Long live the CMS.

The part about migrating between static site generators hits hard. Definitely guilty there. Also for not getting a build working after months.
This is the entire caching set-up that I use to achieve a maxed out Core Web Vitals score with #WordPress.
Why would I need more than this?

This stops 99% of WordPress comment spam. No third-party services required.

How's everyone using AI to help manage their WordPress site?
I currently have local AI chat with access to my local copy of the source files combined with a WP CLI config file to access content on production. It works, but seems brittle.
Any better setups out there?
New internet package, 2x as fast as what we had before.
Can't wait to be 2x as productive. 🤡

Todays small feature: the pageview treshold in Koko Analytics Pro's traffic spike notification can now be a relative number.
This sends the traffic spike notification when traffic is +100% compared to the 3 month hourly average.
Playing with Astro to see what the fuss is about.
What I like:
- It's just JS. Very flexible.
- Component-based.
- Schema validation for front matter.
- Can be a completely static site, can have dynamic content.
What I dislike:
- It's just JS 😅
Up next for Koko Analytics: custom ordering of all dashboard components. Drag & drop or even hide some completely. You decide!
Bizar, haha. Wel heel leuk weetje. Dank!
Lijkt wel Vlaanderen. Voorbereidingen voor de Ronde misschien?
In one of our applications I had Monolog configured to email on critical errors, except this time the critical error was related to sending emails. Took me 48 hours before I noticed. Oof. 😅
So... What's everyone using for log aggregation and monitoring these days?
Cloudflare just announced a WordPress competitor, not a joke.

Loads without issues here (Netherlands).
My daily game colorguesser has at least 12k unique users per day.
It's mostly targeted at designers and color-lovers. If you want to promote your project, I am selling ad-spaces for a month.
DM me for more details.
(RT if are not interested, but know someone who is)
Big update brewing for Koko Analytics, paving the way for a very nice performance improvement for custom events.
Out now, Koko Analytics version 2.2.5!
Various minor fixes and improvements, nothing big.
As always, I'm here in case of any hiccups. Don't hesitate to reach out.

This is a crazy story on Polymarket and what seems like an inconsequential detail.

Who's this guy and why is he in your timeline?! It's me, Danny.
I changed my profile photo in a couple of places to one that isn't 10+ years old and matches the amount of hair I have left... 😅
In that light*, I am available for some freelance PHP or WordPress work!

*That's a joke, the timing is purely coincidental 😅.
Screenshot of the "Active installations" count on the Mailchimp for WordPress plugin page on WordPress.org.
The active install count on WordPress.org for Mailchimp for WordPress just dropped from 2M+ to 1M+. 😔
After a short pause while things were busy, I'll finally have time to put into developing Turbo Admin again. Hooray!
(Turbo Admin, if you don't know, is my magical WordPress browser extension that adds a command palette and other customisations to ALL your WP sites)

Congrats John. I vaguely remember your frustration with WordPress back in the day and venturing out to start Ghost. So cool to see how far you've come!
Today @ghost.org crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software.
Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating.
