Loving the shift away from bloated client-side JavaScript. With RUM tools offering better visibility into the impact of JS, the DX vs. UX trade-off is becoming harder to ignore. Any UX focused changes in your stack making it to production? Did your numbers improve? www.speedcurve.com/blog/long-an...

I want all my web performance metrics described with baking analogies. Who knew that cake had "Frontend" time. Although that would mean that a cake's Time To First Bite (Backend) would come after Frontend!

A company should exist to enrich and support us as individuals. Not for us to enrich it. It’s nothing without its fabulous people.

Eight years at SpeedCurve! What the WHAT?!?

On the eve of my eighth (!!!) anniversary as a SpeedCurver, I wrote up this ode to the biggest little company I've ever had the privilege to be part of.

Would love to see the Web Almanac talk more about Safari's lack of perf metrics next year. There's a huge chunk of traffic not being looked at or analysed. There's zero mention of this missing context. almanac.httparchive.org/en/2024/perf...

I just had a good chat with a @speedcurve.com customer who wanted to know why their CrUX numbers didn't match their RUM numbers. It was a good reminder that even experienced #webperf / #ux folks might not realize that CrUX isn't full RUM. Helpful explainer: support.speedcurve.com/docs/speedcu...

As a dyslexic, not being able to edit posts on BlueSky is a bit rough. 😢

Web font subsetting with Unicode ranges is such an awesome and under appreciated feature.

Stoyan Stefanov @stoyan.me · 2y ago

Say hello to `inverse-subset`! The idea is from a conversation with @andydavies.me at #perfnow. When you have a complete font and a subset e.g. Latin, generate another subset consisting of everything not in the original subset. E.g. all characters that are NOT Latin. npmjs.com/package/inverse-subset

Amazing to see Element/Container Timing gathering steam. These are fundamental for truly connecting web performance and user experience. Huge thank you to @jasew.bsky.social and @yoav.ws for pushing these along.

WebPerfWG@webperfwg.org · 2y ago

In our meeting yesterday, we decided to adopt Element Timing (and the followup Container Timing work) into the working group. CfC coming up!! We also discussed some upcoming improvements to the crash reporting API (still in incubation). Minutes: w3c.github.io/web-performa...

Would you want core web vitals In Safari? Can you help me understand how you would use them and why numbers in one browser isn’t enough? (These may sound like silly questions, but I’d love to understand *your* specific context and use cases)

YES! Core Web Vitals are an awesome starting point, but they’re not the final destination. @tkadlec.bsky.social at #PerfNow

Thanks for the notes Stuart! I wasn’t able to make it this year. PPK puts an awesome conference together.

Stuart McMillan@stuart-mcmillan.com · 2y ago

Phew! I'm struggling to keep up with all the great info at @perfnow.bsky.social ! So many insights to absorb. Get my notes here: stuart-mcmillan.com/blog/webperf... (apologies for typos, will tidy later and add in loads of images) #perfnow #webperf

Per @slightlyoff.bsky.social’s #perfnow talk… GOV.UK publishes great performance case studies on their tech blog. This is one of them. technology.blog.gov.uk/2020/07/02/s...

Took 2 mins at #PerfNow to talk about the RUM Community Group in W3C for anyone doing RUM. It's free and easy to join if you're interested! www.w3.org/community/ru...

Very inspired by stories from participants of the Women Coding Community at #halfstackconf. Lots of cross-training and activating. A program that offers resumé clinics, interview coaching, coding clubs, career clubs, speaking clubs, mentoring programs, and much more. womencodingcommunity.com

🫵 I’m looking to add a Flagship client for 2025. You’re an ambitious organisation with a long-term, strategic outlook. You have the desire and capability to be best-in-class, you just need a little guidance. Is that you? We should talk.
