Improving Drupal CMS Performance with Gander: Real-World Wins and Lessons

In this Tag1 Team Talk, Michael Meyers is joined by Nathaniel Catchpole, the Gander Project Lead, to discuss how this testing framework is reshaping developers’ approach to site performance optimization. Performance in Drupal has long been a challenging and time-consuming task, often requiring manual intervention and complex setups. Gander is an official Drupal solution available in core, automating performance tests in the development process and integrating with your workflow.

Gander’s ability to simulate real-world traffic and performance conditions is already helping developers identify bottlenecks and fine-tune site performance — without the overhead of manual testing.

By running tests with every code change, teams can catch performance issues early and continuously monitor improvements as part of the development cycle, instead of an afterthought.

Whether you’re managing small projects or large-scale sites, tune in below for an in-depth look at this cutting-edge framework, how it works, and what the future holds for performance testing in Drupal.
