How GOV.UK uses synthetic web performance monitoring
Matt Hobbs shares a straightforward, pragmatic walkthrough of how he set up the performance monitoring dashboards – including configuring test settings and creating performance budgets and alerts – for GOV.UK.....
We made a simple code change but the impact on the wider GOV.UK codebase was significant. We changed the way the `@font-face` loading method referenced fonts...
GOV.UK enabled HTTP2 and were able to measure that this significantly improved performance. They found that, for users with slower devices and connections, start render improved by 2.5 seconds and page load time by 6 seconds.....
SpeedCurve is visually awesome and holds functionality I've been expecting someone to finally build for quite a while.

I'm glad we use @SpeedCurve at work to improve and monitor the performance of the #Schiphol website.

@SpeedCurve when did custom charts get a million times more useful?!?!?! I'm in chart heaven right now.

SpeedCurve took 5 minutes to set up and gives me an instant view of how our site is performing in absolute terms, and relative to our competition.

Setting up @SpeedCurve, powerful enough to keep track of performance improvements and simple enough to show some cool graphs!

@SpeedCurve is just the best. It has helped wrangle react, ads, layout shifts, caching, budgets. The most valuable thing it's given us is a mechanism to openly and honestly engage business about performance.

A site redesign really shows @SpeedCurve’s worth. So much good stuff in there that I haven’t had time to play with until now.

I've been using @SpeedCurve for only a week, and I'm 100% sold. If you really care about front end #performance, get this tool. Holy crap is it amazing. I can easily graph my #lighthouse scores over time.

We managed to shave ~1s by tweaking our HTTP/2 server push settings 🚀 All monitored via @SpeedCurve amazing dashboards.

@SpeedCurve Real User Monitoring (RUM) helped us spot a giant performance hit when a popular A/B testing tool was enabled by Ops. Highly recommend.

When @SpeedCurve makes you feel like a CSI agent as you solve the case of sudden Speed Index increase.

Couldn't have made the progress we did without @SpeedCurve great product!

We used @SpeedCurve to track Synthetic and RUM results over time. We convinced a client to turn Adobe Tag Manager off for two weeks. Load times went through the floor!
