Frank Goossens (@futtta) – WordPress user profile

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.
