Raiders of the Fast Start: Frontend Performance Archaeology - Performance.now...Katie Sylor-Miller
Raiders of the Fast Start: Frontend Performance Archeology
There are a lot of books, articles, and online tutorials out there with fantastic advice on how to make your websites performant. It all seems easy in theory, but applying best practices to real-world code is anything but straightforward. Diagnosing and fixing frontend performance issues on a large legacy codebase is like being an archaeologist excavating the remains of a lost civilization. You don’t know what you will find until you start digging!
Pick up your trowels and come along with Etsy’s Frontend Systems team as we become archaeologists digging into frontend performance on our large, legacy mobile codebase. I’ll share real-life lessons you can use to guide your own excavations into legacy code:
What tools and metrics we used to diagnose issues and track progress.
How we went beyond server-driven best practices to focus on the client.
Which fixes successfully increased conversion, and which didn’t.
Our work, like all good archaeology, went beyond artifacts and unearthed new insights into our culture. We at Etsy pride ourselves on our culture of performance, but, like all cultures, it needs to adapt and reinvent itself to account for changes to the landscape. Based on what we’ve learned, we are making the case for a new, organization-wide, frontend-focused performance culture that will solve the problems we face today.
2021 Chrome Dev Summit: Web Performance 101Tammy Everts
What do we mean when we talk about "web performance"? Why should you care about it? How can measure it? How do you get other people in your organization to care? In this workshop at the 2021 Chrome Dev Summit, I covered these questions – including an overview of the history of performance metrics, up to Core Web Vitals.
How I learned to stop worrying and love UX metricsTammy Everts
This talk at the 2018 performance.now() conference (Amsterdam) walks through a brief history of UX and web performance research, highlighting landmark studies that helped connect the dots between performance and user experience. I also demystify the current state of performance metrics and help you understand what you need to focus on for your site and your users.
Everyone loves fast sites. While "make your site faster" is a simple mantra, the actual steps to achieve this can be daunting. Fortunately, we know where to start: JavaScript. JavaScript consumes more CPU than loading, layout, and rendering combined. Byte-for-byte, JavaScript inflicts more delays on sites than any other resource, and yet the amount of JavaScript on sites continues to grow.
In this session you'll learn the latest techniques for measuring and improving the impact JavaScript on your site, including: using the User Timing Spec and Long Tasks API to track the CPU cost of JavaScript for real users, moving expensive JavaScript off the main thread, using code coverage tools to reduce your JavaScript, and understanding why defer is probably a better technique than async for loading JavaScript.

Measuring Web Performance (HighEdWeb FL Edition)Dave Olsen
Today, a web page can be delivered to desktop computers, televisions, or handheld devices like tablets or phones. While a technique like responsive design helps ensure that our web sites look good across that spectrum of devices we may forget that we need to make sure that our web sites also perform well across that same spectrum. More and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds with some moving entirely to mobile Internet.
In this session we’ll look at the tools that can help you understand, measure and improve the web performance of your web sites and applications. The talk will also discuss how new server-side techniques might help us optimize our front-end performance. Finally, since the best way to test is to have devices in your hand, we’ll discuss some tips for getting your hands on them cheaply.
This presentation builds upon Dave’s “Optimization for Mobile” chapter in Smashing Magazine’s “The Mobile Book.”
This talk was given at HighEdWeb Florida.

Web Performance in the Age of HTTP2 - Topconf Tallinn 2016 - Holger BartelHolger Bartel
Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition.
Nevertheless, much of our time on the web is still used up by waiting. To decrease our wait time and improve the web’s overall performance, this integral part of user experience needs further promotion.
Waiting and the perception of time itself, is reason enough to explore some of the psychological effects time has on our users, too.
Passing time also plays a big role in the evolution of technologies. Through the history of HTTP we have reached the latest version as HTTP/2, which will turn some of our existing web performance best practices on their head and into the new anti-patterns of today.

Velocity 2010: Performance Impact, Part Two: More Findings from the Front Lin...Strangeloop
Last year at Velocity, Strangeloop's VP Product, Hooman Beheshti, presented the findings from phase one of Strangeloop’s long-term research into the relationship between web performance and business benefits. The results were also published in Watching Websites. Since then, we’ve received a barrage of questions from the web performance community, which fueled phase two of our study. In this presentation, Strangeloop president Joshua Bixby offers our most recent findings.
Some of the community’s questions were:
* Who were the clients?
* How fast were the pages?
* What acceleration techniques were implemented?
* What happened to the key page components (such as JS size, payload and roundtrips) of the websites?
* How did changing key variables (page load time, payload, number of roundtrips, etc.) affect the outcome?
We’ve been collecting and analyzing data to help us answer these questions, as well as some new ones we’ve thought up along the way. Join us as we present our findings, and help us consider what areas deserve further study.

QConPlus'21 - Beating the Speed of Light with Intelligent Request RoutingSergey Fedorov
Network request latency is crucial for many Internet applications. For Netflix it matters even outside video streaming - lower latencies to our AWS cloud endpoints mean smoother browsing experience for hundreds of millions of members. The catch - Netflix service is used on hundreds of millions of devices all around the world, connecting to our data centers over the open Internet - an ever-changing global network with many possible paths, distributed ownership and lack of centralized control.
This talk is both about API acceleration technology and data-driven approach to building distributed systems at a global scale that are safe to deploy and easy to maintain. While this talk demonstrates Netflix’s journey, the main principles and techniques can easily be applied and practiced by every owner of Internet-based services.
From this talk you’ll learn:
- how to build the Internet latency map for your customers;
- how to leverage the knowledge of network protocols and edge infrastructure to do the impossible - beat the speed of light;
- how to use a data-driven approach to evolve your client-server interactions;
- how to do that with a small team, on a tight schedule and minimal risk to your users.

Abusing JavaScript to measure Web Performance, or, "how does boomerang work?"Philip Tellis
While building boomerang, we developed many interesting methods to measure network performance characteristics using JavaScript running in the browser. While the W3C's NavigationTiming API provides access to many performance metrics, there's far more you can get at with some creative tweaking and analysis of how the browser reacts to certain requests.
In this talk, I'll go into the details of how boomerang works to measure network throughput, latency, TCP connect time, DNS time and IPv6 connectivity. I'll also touch upon some of the other performance related browser APIs we use to gather useful information.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

50th 75th 90th 95th HTTPArchive Jan ’13 to Jan ‘18Percentile
23. How do we do this for many pages?
1. Grab Chrome timelines from HTTPArchive
2. Analyse with modified version of Jean-Pierre
Vincent’s 3rd-party-cpu-abuser
3. Aggregate the results
33. Improving performance
Reducing number of
• URL Matches
• Experiments
• Plugins (Widgets)
reduces snippet size, download and execution times
Removing jQuery from the bundle and using your own (if you
already have it) can shrink bundle further
34. Add metrics from Optimizely to Analytics or RUM?
optimizely.get("state").getActiveExperimentIds().length
Some products have documented APIs, why not extract key
metrics and send them to analytics or RUM?
Number of experiments in snippet:
Number of experiments active for this page view:
Object.keys(optimizely.get('data').experiments).length
35. Use Performance APIs to build a picture
Resource Timing
• When was script requested, how long did it take to fetch, was it
cached?
User Timing
• When did the initial script execute, how long did it take?
LongTasks
• Were there any script elements that took longer that 50ms?
36. Make sure tests are equivalent from a performance viewpoint
Some things seen in the the wild:
• One variant redirected to a new page, the other didn’t
• Optimised vs unoptimised images
(Can be good reasons why tests can’t be equivalent)
37. Could you do it server-side or or at CDN level?

38. Know how to turn it off in an emergency

61. https://www.adlightning.com/ad-quality-report
“…41% of the ads tracked exceeded the industry-approved
maximum. Nearly 10% of the ads were larger than 5MB.
Some ads are as large as 30 MBs.”
“…average number of network requests and tracking scripts
per ad was 56:
3.7x greater than the maximum suggested by the IAB.”
62. “…one third (32%) of the ads were overly processor-
intensive.
The study also found it common for processor-intensive ads,
often video ads, to consume more than 3 seconds of CPU
time to render a single ad within the user’s browser.”
4% of video ads were in Flash format and 19% of in-banner
video ads were auto-play.

65. Performance APIs can help to build a picture (within limits)
Resource Timing
• What was requested and when, how long did it take to fetch, was it
cached?
LongTasks
• Were there any script elements that took longer that 50ms?
But there are still plenty of blind spots
66. Can some of the security features of the web help?
Tried using
• Content-Security-Policy
• Subresource Integrity
to help a client police ads last year but didn’t have much success
