Slides for my @smashingconf talk about how to create performance budgets – to fight regressions and keep your site fast – are up. Thank you to all the folks who attended and asked such great questions!
If you're into #webperf and would like to learn how other folks have found their way to our world, @tannerhodges has a really fun podcast called Catching Up. He chats with folks (like @anniesullie@ethangardner@tunetheweb & @viniciusdallacqua) about their performance journeys. Definitely worth a listen!
Love this post by @cliff. He does more than explain what Interaction to Next Paint is and how it's measured. He looks at real user data and creates correlation charts that show how INP aligns with actual user behaviour. It's all about the users!
This week we made our Speed Matters newsletter available to the public! I write it myself, so I can 100% guarantee that you're getting the best of the #webperf web each month.
What do companies with fast websites have in common? They all (in my experience) use performance budgets to prevent regressions.
This post has been a long time coming. I did my best to distill all the best practices I've shared at conferences and during countless consultations with companies of all sizes. I hope people find it helpful!
#WebPerformance tip: Optimize your critical rendering path by inlining critical CSS and deferring non-critical styles, for example for content below the fold. This helps your site to render faster and improves perceived load time.
