Performance is happiness: Volume II
10 years ago Almudena was giving a talk called performance is happiness. It was an introduction to Web Performance, using a tool called WebPageTest. Now 10 years after that, more tools came across, and more technology. You will be checking the Core Web Vitals, that are a collection of metrics that indicates how user-friendly a website is based on its load time, visual stability and interactivity.
In this talk Almudena would like to introduce concepts such as Single Page Applications and when to use Client vs Server Side Rendering, based on test results that will use core web vitals metrics as key performance indicator. You will check these metrics with sitespeed.io and lighthouse, both open source tools. You’ll analyze a page with an experimental extension in K6 called browser that will provide you with metrics like LCP or TTFB that will provide you insights of the user perception. With k6, you will be able to test both protocol and browser level.
