VERDICT

Should I use The WP Weekly?

Weekly newsletter for WordPress professionals - thewpweekly.com

Worth it. Subscribe if you work in WordPress daily — it is free, weekly, and well-curated with 300+ issues since 2021. Skip it if you do not use WordPress, and do not sponsor without first requesting rates and audience numbers, which are not published.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 15+ public sources; no sponsorship pricing or audience metrics published.
