In this talk, we’ll share how we use the various aspects of “performance” to guide decisions from product ideation through actual software, and how we measure and tool for success.

This is a mindset, not just a single metric: We care a lot about page speed, conversion and beyond, and in our opinion, “a better web” is a more performant web, which starts with a core practice is to love our customers (and our customers’ customers).
