Metrics are everywhere! We’ve done a great job of keeping pace with measuring the output of our applications, but how are we doing with measuring what really matters? This talk will explore the various metrics available to application owners today, highlight what’s coming tomorrow and level-set on the relative importance as it relates to the user experience.

Raiders of the Fast Start: Frontend Performance Archeology There are a lot of books, articles, and online tutorials out there with fantastic advice on how to make your websites performant. It all seems easy in theory, but applying best practices to real-world code is anything but straightforward. Diagnosing and fixing frontend performance issues on a large legacy codebase is like being an archaeologist excavating the remains of a lost civilization. You don’t know what you will find until you start digging! Pick up your trowels and come along with Etsy’s Frontend Systems team as we become archaeologists digging into frontend performance on our large, legacy mobile codebase. I’ll share real-life lessons you can use to guide your own excavations into legacy code: What tools and metrics we used to diagnose issues and track progress. How we went beyond server-driven best practices to focus on the client. Which fixes successfully increased conversion, and which didn’t. Our work, like all good archaeology, went beyond artifacts and unearthed new insights into our culture. We at Etsy pride ourselves on our culture of performance, but, like all cultures, it needs to adapt and reinvent itself to account for changes to the landscape. Based on what we’ve learned, we are making the case for a new, organization-wide, frontend-focused performance culture that will solve the problems we face today.

Cliff from SOASTA and Steve from Staples discuss the three questions: How fast are you? How fast should you be? How do you get there? An overview of real world performance optimization and RUM.

Website speed is a crucial aspect of on page SEO everyone can control. Your goal is to be interactive in under 3 seconds, even on a basic phone over a 3G connection. However, most web sites have so many requests and large payloads this time limit or budget cannot be achieved. In fact, the average web page takes 22 seconds to load, according to Google's research. But what if I told you there is a way to offload or even avoid loading page assets until they are needed? This can give your website a distinct advantage over your competition because not only will Google like your pages better so will your visitors!
