Playwright Testing: Build Reliable End-to-End Tests
End-to-end testing has a reputation problem. Tests are flaky, slow, and expensive to maintain. Teams start with enthusiasm, writing comprehensive test suites—only to watch them become brittle, unreliable, and eventually ignored.
Playwright changes this equation. Microsoft’s modern testing framework addresses the core pain points that plagued previous generations of browser automation tools. With its architectural improvements, developer-friendly API, and built-in best practices, Playwright makes it possible to build automated test suites that are fast, reliable, and actually maintainable.
CI/CD for Marketers: Faster Websites
You’ve probably heard developers talk about “CI/CD pipelines” or “automated deployments” and wondered what that actually means for your website. Maybe you’ve been in meetings where technical terms get thrown around, and you nod along but aren’t quite sure how it all connects to what you care about: getting content live quickly, keeping the site fast, and avoiding broken pages.
Here’s the truth: CI/CD isn’t just developer jargon—it’s the automation system that makes your website faster, more reliable, and safer to update. And understanding the basics can help you make better decisions about your digital infrastructure.
Tag! You're It: GTM Digital Freeze Tag
At DrupalCon Atlanta 2025, I had the privilege of presenting “Tag! You’re It. Digital ‘freeze’ tag with GTM” - a session exploring how to master Google Tag Manager while balancing the competing demands of privacy compliance and website performance.
The Modern Tag Management Challenge
For marketers and developers alike, Google Tag Manager (GTM) has become an indispensable tool. It simplifies the deployment and management of various tags across your website - analytics tags, marketing pixels, tracking scripts, and more - all without requiring coding skills for each change.
Speedy Delivery: CWV, GTM & Tailwind
At the 2024 Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit, MindSing sponsored a session exploring the critical relationship between Core Web Vitals, Google Tag Manager, and site performance. The session, “Speedy Delivery, Win the GTM, SERP, and CWV Game with Layout Builder and Tailwind,” demonstrated how to maintain perfect performance scores while meeting the demands of modern marketing teams.
The Performance Paradox
You’ve optimized your Drupal site. Your code is clean, your images are compressed, your CSS is minimal. You run a Lighthouse audit and… 85. Not bad, but not the perfect 100 you were aiming for. What’s holding you back? Often, it’s not your code—it’s Google Tag Manager.
