Chrome DevTools
A staple for front-end developers, Chrome DevTools offers real-time debugging, performance profiling, and accessibility checks, making it easier to fine tune the editing experience across devices.

Lighthouse
Integrated into DevTools, Lighthouse provides automated audits for performance, SEO, and accessibility. Editors and developers alike use it to ensure their content reaches users quickly and inclusively.

Google Site Kit
This official WordPress plugin brings Google’s most essential services, Search Console, Analytics, AdSense, and PageSpeed Insights, right into the WordPress dashboard. It’s a game changer for editors who want data-driven insights without leaving their site.

Google Fonts
With a vast library of open-source fonts, Google Fonts helps designers and editors craft beautiful, readable content that reflects their brand and voice.

Core Web Vitals
These user centric performance metrics, like Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift, are now essential benchmarks for modern websites. Google’s advocacy for these standards helps WordPress sites stay competitive and user friendly.

A Shared Mission

Google’s support of WordCamp US 2025 as an Editor Sponsor reinforces open-source platforms like WordPress, empowering editors with tools that elevate creation. Google continues to champion a web that’s open, equitable, and built for everyone.

  • Fully Integrated: Works with the tools you already use: WordPress, Elementor, Woo, ACF, Gutenberg, and beyond.
  • Always in Control: Every action is visible, reversible, and respects your site’s native roles and settings.
  • Unmatched Speed & Quality: It saves time, improves outcomes, and scales with your workflow.

Once you experience it, you’ll want Angie by your side on every site you manage. It’s not about adopting AI. It’s about leading with it.

Stop by our booth

Come meet the Elementor team and get a hands-on look at Angie in action. We’ll be sharing real demos, answering questions, and talking about how AI is changing the way we build for the web.
