    Bio

    I am a small-time blogger, Open Source enthusiast, “Web Technology Explorer & Navigator” with a passion for performance, privacy and security. I’m not really a developer, but still the proud “hacker” of WP YouTube LYte, WP DoNotTrack and Autoptimize.

    You can find me on https://mastodon.social/@futtta

    WordPress Origin Story

    Started blogging sporadically on Nucleus CMS in 2003, switched to my ISP’s hosted Typepad offering around 2005, moved to futtta.wordpress.com in february 2007, upgraded to self-hosted WordPress 10 months later, started my first plugin (WP YouTube Lyte) in 2010 and adopted Autoptimize in 2013.
