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.....
I love @SpeedCurve for correlating RUM data to business metrics. They have some out of the box stuff around bounce rate, and it's easy to add custom business metrics to graph and track.

@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.

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.
