Performance

Performance matters more than most realize. An app or site that performs well improves user experience, increases accessibility, and ultimately leads to better business results. When performance degrades, people notice. Building with performance considerations in mind is vital for all teams and organizations.

Our Areas of Expertise

Performance Audits

Before embarking on improving web performance, conducting a performance audit is a crucial first step. This process helps to surface any problem areas that need improvement, from user facing front-end issues, to back-end and infrastructure related concerns. Findings from a performance audit are empowering for making informed decisions about where to prioritize making improvements.

Optimization Sprints

Findings from performance audits are used to plan focused optimization sprints. Teams are empowered to efficiently focus on specific problem areas, from code optimization, to image improvements, to infrastructure updates and caching improvements. This data-driven approach ensures that optimization efforts are well-informed, strategic, and ultimately produce better web performance, which leads to improved user experience and better business outcomes.

Performance Monitoring

Having a method in place for monitoring web performance is important for ensuring that any improvements made, remain in place over time. From performance testing to reporting and alerting, an automated process can be established using a combination of open source tools and third-party services, in order to help prevent web performance regressions from happening.
