Talks
Shrinking Bundles, Expanding Forests by Maxi Ferreira
Third-party scripts can greatly affect a website’s performance, conversation rates, and overall user experience. But there’s one aspect of third-parties that is often overlooked — their potential impact on the environment. In this talk, Maxi will share the experience of his team in optimizing a widely-used third-party widget. He’ll talk about their process, how they measured success, and how they were able to do what’s right for their customers, while saving thousands of trees along the way.

Everything You Need to Know About Interaction to Next Paint in 10 Minutes or Less! by Tammy Everts
If you care about user experience, site speed, and SEO, then you probably already care about Google’s Core Web Vitals – a set of metrics designed to help you focus on measuring web performance from a user’s perspective. Interaction to Next Paint (INP) is the newest metric scheduled to be included in Core Web Vitals (in March 2024). Tammy will talk about how INP is measured, why you should care about it – and most important, how it correlates to real user behaviour.
