More and more, organizations understand that performance is a critical factor in the reach and overall effectiveness of their online experiences. But where to start? It can be challenging to weed through the myriad of advice and "best practices" floating around to find the improvements that will actually benefit you and the people using your site. All too often, teams spend large amounts of time applying optimizations only to find that they're unable to show meaningful improvements after the fact.
In this workshop, we'll walk through the process of analyzing a sites performance to find meaningful improvements. We'll start with understanding the key components of the page lifecycle and which metrics we can use to measure them. Then, we'll use those metrics as our starting point to identify exactly which bottlenecks may slow them down, and the patterns to look for. In the end, we'll walk away with a process for ensuring that the optimizations we make result in meaningful improvements to our sites performance and, more importantly, to the user experience.
