A lot of companies—even if they are aware that performance is key to their business—are often unsure of how, when, or where performance testing sits within their development lifecycle. To make things worse, they’re also usually unsure whose responsibility performance measuring and monitoring is. The short answers are, of course ‘all the time’ and ‘everyone’, but this mutual disownership is a common reason why performance often gets overlooked.

Measuring Performance With Server Timing. Measuring Performance With Server Timing. Drew McLellan. 2018-10-30T03:40:14+02:00. 2019-04-29T18:34:58+00:00. When undertaking any sort of performance optimisation work, one of the very first things we learn is that before you can improve performance you must first measure it. Without being able to measure the speed at which something is working, we can’t tell if the changes being made are improving the performance, having no effect, or even making thin

Visual Metrics Alone Paint Only Half The Picture. Measuring and optimizing for user experience is the future of web performance. Existing metrics like DOM Content Loaded and Onload Time are giving way to user-centric metrics such as visual timings and user timings. But do they ‘paint’ the whole picture? The older metrics and methods provide some useful insight, but to better serve users on the modern web we have to start looking at page ‘interactivity’.

I had an exchange with Dan North about the subject I wrote about last month, Beginner's Mind. Dan asked an interesting question: what would it take to make work like this every day for everyone, everywhere? It's a serious question that deserves serious consideration. To start, it's worth asking: why isn't work like this today, every day, for everyone, everywhere?
