Perfecting Perf: Rapid, Rigorous and Reproducible Performance Experiments

This conference talk from DinosaurJS 2017 features Lon Ingram discussing how to conduct effective performance optimization experiments for web applications. Learn how to address the critical need for speed in the mobile web era, where slow-loading pages drive users away and negatively impact search engine rankings. Discover a methodical approach to performance optimization by quickly testing ideas, rigorously evaluating results, and documenting experiments in a reproducible manner. Gain practical knowledge about using open source tools to assess optimization strategies efficiently, allowing you to identify which performance improvements truly deliver value and which ones to abandon early. The presentation provides a framework for sharing your performance findings with the development community, enabling others to replicate and build upon your work.
