The Firefox Profiler is a profiler that is built into Firefox. It has tighter integration with Firefox than external profilers.

The new QUIC and HTTP/3 protocols are finally here! With their standardization at the IETF almost complete and several mature implementations being deployed, we can start looking into which performance improvements they bring in practice.

But problems are there to be solved, and that's what I've been doing for the past 2 ...

It's 2021, and we are in a climate emergency. If you're a web professional, you've probably figured out that if the internet runs on electricity, and a lot of electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, there are steps we can take as technologists to make our use of the internet measurably more sustainable, by changing how we use digital infrastructure. In this talk, we'll cover some of the levers available to you as a maker of digital services, and how we can extend open source tools to help ...

Categorizing device types by desktop, mobile and tablet no longer works in 2021. It is oversimplified, meaningless and likely breaks your current performance analysis on a modern responsive website. As #perfmatters we need meaningful monitoring that takes into account the modern web: - Screen dimensions - Device pixel ratios - Image and CSS breakpoints - Connections Keeping it both simple and meaningful is however not easy! Learn about the different approaches and how to apply this to your ...
