Key Takeaways

  • Instrument metrics before optimization work begins
  • Treat performance budgets as release gates
  • Close the loop with weekly review and remediation

Measure Before You Tune

Without baseline numbers, optimization work becomes guesswork. Capture both synthetic and real-user metrics for key pages before changing anything.

Use those baselines to prioritize work that affects user journeys tied to conversion and retention.

Set Enforceable Budgets

Define practical budgets for bundle size, image payload, and render metrics. If releases exceed those budgets, trigger review before deployment.

Budget-based gates prevent silent degradation over time.

Build a Performance Cadence

A weekly review of performance dashboards keeps issues visible and manageable. Assign ownership and due dates for regressions.

Operational rhythm is what turns one-time optimization into long-term product quality.
