About this talk

What the session covered.

Many websites are optimised for crawlers, audit scores, and technical metrics ahead of the people who use them.

At WordCamp Verona 2025, Vineet examined the gap between machine-readable performance and genuine human usability, and made the case for centring real user behaviour in every technical and design decision.

The session covered the overlap between UX quality, accessibility, and performance, and why chasing benchmark scores often works against the user.
