A presentation at Artifact in in Austin, TX, USA by Tim Kadlec
Over the past several years, there has been a lot of conversation about how performance impacts key business metrics, but that’s not all that’s at stake. As sites grow heavier, using more JavaScript and images than ever, it’s not just the business that feels the effects. Spotty networks, cheap devices, accessible tech and more struggle to handle the increasing demands we place on them. If we’re not careful, the people down the street and around the world who rely on those technologies will be left out entirely.
In this talk we’ll explore performance outside the bubble and what we can do to make sure that we’re not leaving people on the outside looking in.
The following resources were mentioned during the presentation or are useful additional information.
