Performance tips, tricks, and hacks I learnt from my over-engineered personal site
Phil Wolstenholme
Over the years, I've become mildly obsessed with my personal site's Lighthouse scores, but I also want it to have a personality rather than be ruthlessly optimised for performance. In this talk, we'll go on a 'performance safari', roaming up and down my homepage and talking about the different aspects that make it fast (ish). We'll cover the basics, some fundamental concepts, and a few more advanced tips – so there should be something for almost all levels.

Testing Accessibility
James Bateson
When it comes to testing accessibility, there's no substitute for testing with real people. However, there are some automated and manual tools that we can use during the product lifecycle that can help us catch low-hanging, high impact issues. In this lightning talk, we'll take a look at some tools that we can use during our day-to-day development to catch such issues. Warning—live demos ahead.

Getting into the swing of React Testing Library with the testing playground 🛝
Katie Raby
React Testing Library is a popular testing utility tool for front-end testing. The testing library itself makes it easy to get started with testing, but it can sometimes prove tricky to find ways to target an element. In this lightning talk, we'll take a look at the awesome testing-playground, which can help us find the right queries and encourage good testing practices.
