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.....
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.....
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...

@SpeedCurve is the best tool I know for creating and nurturing a culture of performance. Gives you insights, points out what the main performance issues are and even ranks your site against competitors.

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.

@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.

@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.
