Web performance
A page all about Web performance.
Web performance is about measuring how well websites serve their users in terms of speed and user experience (UX).
The faster a site loads, the better. But it goes much deeper than that and there are a myriad of moving parts that contribute towards better performance and sometimes speed isn't everything.
This page covers topics such as Core Web Vitals, testing, relationships with UX and SEO, and little tips and tricks that can help improve Web performance.
