Yesterday, the Cheltenham WordPress Meetup was a series of Show and Tell talks. Along the lines of Lightning talks, these are talks of approximately 10 minutes, where individuals share something they’ve been working on. There were 7 talks planned:

1. Richard Bell @Rich Bell demoed Ray and Background WordPress processing, 
2. Mark Wilkinson @wpmark demoed his Just In Time CSS,
3. Elliott Richmond @erichmond showed us how to run Xdebug using Visual Code Studio, setting breakpoints, watching variables and changing values on the fly, 
4. Ross Wintle @magicroundabout demoed his new CSS and PHP based spam pixel plugin to block spam bots
5. Keith Devon @keithdevon showed us his work on CSS grid for block based themes
6. We ran out of time before @Jonnyauk had a chance to show his latest work with template parts ( PHP version not FSE ).
7. and somewhere in the middle of it I talked about 3 plugins I’ve written to help visualise my server side performance: oik-bwtrace sb-chart-block and slog.

This post is the annotated version of the slides.
