Images are a dominant component of modern website content, often comprising 50% to 90%. As developers, we are often caught in a tug-of-war: stakeholders demand high visual fidelity, while Core Web Vitals demand speed. It isn't about picking a side—it is about engineering the perfect balance.

In this session, we will move beyond the default Drupal settings to build a better image pipeline. We will benchmark PHP GD vs. ImageMagick to help you choose the right toolkit for your architecture. We will also dive into the technical nuances of resampling algorithms (Lanczos vs bilinear interpolation), demystify ICC color profiles, and discuss when to strip metadata versus when to keep it.

Join this session to learn how to deliver crisp, professional visuals without sacrificing your site's performance.

Drupal MCP is a module that brings Model Context Protocol into Drupal, enabling Drupal's integration with external LLM applications (ChatGPT, Claude and others) and automated workflows (n8n, langflow and others).

This session will introduce Drupal MCP module, explain how it works, demonstrate real-world use cases, and show how developers can extend it for their use-case - building their own tools and how to integrate with external LLM systems and workflows.
