Making Performance Personal at FT Labs
summary
FT Labs describes concrete fixes and measurable wins: an open source FastClick removes the 300ms delay, blocking third‑party share widgets cuts a page load/scroll scenario from 42s to 19s, a UTF‑16 trick lets localStorage hold double the data, and a hidden iframe appcache loader plus base64 image storage defers decoding. Memory leaks get tracked with heap snapshots, GPU layer tooling guides cheap animations, and side‑by‑side device demos and short videos turn abstract metrics into convincing, actionable priorities.
