A (Fairly) Complete Guide to Performance Budgets

Wednesday, 24th – 12:30 PM

It's easier to make a fast website than it is to keep a website fast. If you've invested countless hours in speeding up your pages, but you're not using performance budgets to prevent regressions, you could be at risk of wasting all your efforts.

In this session, we'll cover how to:

  • Understand the difference between performance budgets and performance goals
  • Identify which metrics to track
  • Validate your metrics to make sure they're measuring what you think they are – and to see how they correlate with your user experience and business metrics
  • Determine your budget thresholds
  • Get buy-in from different stakeholders in your organization
  • Integrate with your CI/CD process
  • Maintain your budgets so you stay fast!
