One thing that passed my way. And before I get into it, I will now admit I am not a Swiftie. But please don’t push the stop button because of that. I just haven’t spent the time getting into her music. I know.. I’m sure many thoughts are going through your head, but bear with me on this.
The first tweet that I saw was from the Automattic team asking, Could you site handle Swifties and referring to a tweet from Time.com. That’s a damn good question. Following that, Brad Williams from WebDevStudios and host here at Do the Woo, tweeted a quote from Time.com, “At peak Swift, we were serving over 100k requests per second effortlessly.” This was a quote from Times.com. The story was two part. The Times had to prepare for the post going out naming Taylor Swift as Person of the Year. And the Times is built on WordPress. Brad added, “what a testament to Headless WordPress and WordPressVIP. Amazing.”

In fact, Automattic suggested you visit Time.com and see Gutenberg in action because their WordPressVIP team has been working behind-the-scenes for months to get time.com ready for an influx of page visitors.
It’s a nice feeling for us WordPressers to know that Gutenberg can handle those Swifties. Don’t you think?
