From Milliseconds to Millions: The Numbers Driving Web Perf

Talkat performance.now() 2019 · 2019-11-21..11-22· [web-performance]

Slides and numbers drive decisions: concrete wins, not vague topics. Case studies show measurable impact — 6.2–6.4 seconds faster on mobile without touching ad revenue, global load drops from ~16s to ~6s after fixes, a Venezuela anomaly spikes to 400s, and a 300 milliseconds = £8M/year uplift for Trainline. Tool findings matter too: Cloud.typography yields ~25% worse bounce in one A/B test, half a day of work saves ~$100k/year, and targeting start-render (sub-4s) beats chasing raw load time.
