Cloud Bootcamp is back: This time, it’s all about performance because speed wins customers and conversions. Every second counts.
Last year, Cloud Bootcamp focused on security, helping developers, agencies, and store owners safeguard their websites against growing cyber threats (check it out here). The response was incredible, and we’re excited to continue the series in 2026 with a new focus on website speed and performance.
A slow website doesn’t just frustrate users, it directly impacts your conversions, revenue, and SEO. Cloud Bootcamp returns as an annual tradition, bringing you actionable insights, live site teardowns, and expert guidance to ensure your websites perform flawlessly under real-world traffic.
This year’s Cloud Bootcamp focuses on performance and is a two-day online event happening on March 10–11, 2026. It’s free to attend, so anyone can gain actionable insights, live site teardowns, and expert guidance to build high-speed websites that survive real-world traffic.
Why Attend Performance Bootcamp?
Agencies and store owners are under constant pressure to deliver instant experiences. However, sites that pass synthetic speed tests often crumble when real traffic hits. This event offers a practical look at how to build resilience into your stack.
Here is what you will walk away with:
- Live Site Teardowns: Watch experts diagnose and fix slow sites live on screen to find the root cause of the lag.
- Real-World Fixes: Move beyond theory with actionable code reviews and server configurations you can use immediately.
- Live Challenges: Test your technical knowledge on the leaderboard to win gift cards and exclusive prizes.
- Peer Connections: Connect with 1,500+ developers and agency owners navigating similar challenges.
