Second talk: Front End Performance Matters

As Front End developers, we all build web applications and web sites. In either case, performance matters. You may have tested in your local environment, but how do you know your customers around the world are having that same experience? At Yottaa, we have learned a lot about how to measure performance of both apps and web services. In this talk, we will show you which metrics to focus on to help achieve consistent performance for all of your end users. You will learn how to measure and benchmark, techniques to apply to improve, and ways to prioritize what to fix. Throughout the talk we will be using our free toolset that you can use in your own projects going forward.

Matt Williams is a technical evangelist at Yottaa.
