How do you know what consumers expect from your site? Every shopper is different and every visit is different. Industry stats tell only part of the story. You need to crack the hood and analyze your own real user data. This talk covers how and why to gather real user data and connect the dots between the metrics that matter most -- IT, UX, and business -- in order to create better shopper experiences and improve your business.

In 2006 a friend turned me on to a new test harness called Selenium. The framework had little documentation and ran inside a weird, janky frameset. But Selenium had two killer features: you didn’t need Windows administrator privileges to install it and it was the only free GUI-driven regression testing framework for Web sites. Five years later I find myself in the position of having used Selenium in a business context for almost half my career and nearly the entire lifetime of the tool. Selenium’s changed a lot, so have the Web sites it was designed to test, and so has the Web itself. I look forward to talking about how I have helped businesses leverage Selenium to manage change and increase their ability to adapt in the ever-evolving world of eCommerce.

Velocity NY - How to Measure Revenue in MillisecondsCliff Crocker
Cliff from SOASTA and Steve from Staples discuss the three questions: How fast are you? How fast should you be? How do you get there? An overview of real world performance optimization and RUM.
Using machine learning to determine drivers of bounce and conversion (part 2)Tammy Everts
[2016 Velocity NY] There has been a lot of historical work that looks at the relationship between performance and conversions, but most of it has been after the fact or relied on linear models. Google partnered with SOASTA to train a machine-learning model on a large sample of real-world performance, conversion, and bounce data. Patrick Meenan and Tammy Everts offer an overview of the resulting model, able to predict the impact of performance work and other site metrics on conversion and bounce rates. The code used to generate the model is freely available.
Spot the difference - automating visual regression testingViv Richards
This session looks at common issues with just relying on end to end automation testing tools, using examples to demonstrate common pitfalls and how visual testing can help add another tool to your tool belt.
The talk looks at why we automate tests, the issue with just manually testing, common end to end automation pitfalls, a brief introduction to visual testing and finally a look at common issues with visual testing and ways to overcome them.
Through the use of interactive examples the audience will gain an understanding of why relying on just manual testing can become an issue and how too much automation has a negative impact by looking at testing anti-patterns. The audience will also learn what visual testing is, what tools are available, some of the common pitfalls of using visual testings as well as tips on ways to overcome them based on experience of creating a custom visual test framework at my current employer.
Lighthouse custom audits - London Web Performance 2019Aymen Loukil
Generic metrics are useful to measure and evaluate an overall level of a website performance. The standard KPIs suppose that all the websites are similar which is false. News websites are so different from e-commerce ones for example.
Custom performance metrics come to fill the gap and give us another level of measuring the user experience and satisfaction. Some of the tools provide ways to create and measure custom metrics. In this session we will dive into Google Lighthouse custom audits. What they could be used for ? How could we create our own Lighthouse audits ?
Building High Performance Web ApplicationsJeff Whelpley
In a world where Google search results load instantly and hand held devices get more powerful by the day, the bar for website performance is at unprecedented levels. It isn't enough that an application has cool features. It has to be fast.
Really fast.
If you plan on working in the software industry, you need to understand the basic principles of performance on the web and how to utilize tools and techniques to ensure the products you create will meet customer expectations for speed. In this presentation, Jeff will introduce the high level concepts, get into some real world examples, go over the process of optimization and provide a vision for high performance web applications of the future.
How to measure the business impact of web performanceSOASTA
If your site were one second slower, how many of your visitors would bounce?
If your site were one second faster, how many additional orders would you receive?
Bottom line: Do you know what one second of latency is worth to your business?
Traditional approaches to performance monitoring are fatally flawed. They measure performance only in a silo, telling you how long key actions took but not putting that information into a context you can use to improve the one metric that ultimately matters: revenue. Bridging this gap requires the collection of performance and business data together, and then analyzing this data using the proper analytic methods.
Using modern Real User Monitoring (RUM) techniques, Buddy Brewer will show you how to quantify the impact even one second of latency has on key business metrics like bounce and conversion rate.

Everyday, emails arrive and clutter your inbox. Communications are easily lost or forgotten as mail piles up. Slack was conceived by Tiny Speck Company, who was searching for a truly efficient method of professional communication. Unlike email, Slack allows team members to share ideas in real time. Chat rooms are “hash-tagged” to specific topics, where everyone can share files and links relevant to the topic. Slack can also host non-employees for collaboration on dedicated projects. Larger corporations will probably shy away from Slack because communication is naturally more relaxed and open. Slack is not a traditional chat room. It’s a multi-platform app, featuring real-time communication, topic search, and file sharing history. Your team can assign unique notifications to any slack room, such as twitter updates or new bug warnings. Direct messaging removes the need for email or instant messaging. 8ninths uses Slack, and we love it. Slack us!

Reinventing the Modern Information Pipeline: Paxata and MapRLilia Gutnik
(Presented at MapR's Big Data Everywhere event in Redwood City, CA in December 2016)
The relationship between business teams and IT has changed as the complexity of data has increased. A traditional data pipeline designed for an IT-centered approach to information management is not designed for the data demands of today's business decisions. Designing a big data strategy requires modernizing previous approaches. Self-service data preparation in a collaborative, intuitive, governed, and secure environment is the key to a nimble and decisive business unit.
Amazon Web Service and Microsoft Azure are dominating the enterprise public cloud market, but how are they different? Here’s what you need to know.
There are plenty of differences between AWS and Azure, probably too many to mention in a single webinar. AWS and Azure take generally different approaches and offer some unique services. From our experience with enterprise customers, we found that the commoditized services are often the most important ones. Everybody has a solution for security, access and storage, but how are those solutions different? Will mastering one Cloud platform give me the knowledge I need to operate the other?
Join us in our upcoming webinar, all about the differences in some of the public cloud’s most basic (and vital) services. Watch this webinar to learn about:

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Slack, a supplier of collaborative tools for teams. These tools offer a new form of mail service that is very different from that of traditional e-mail programs such as Microsoft Outlook, G-Mail, and Yahoo-Mail. Slack designed its mail service for the cloud computing environment, as opposed to the traditional in-house computing environment. Accessing documents from the cloud is easier with Slack’s service than with Microsoft Outlook as is enabling apps for Slack’s service and reading messages. Reading messages is easier because they are organized by person (like instant messaging on smart phones) as opposed to time. By measuring usage, Slack can charge by active user thus reducing the risk of trying Slack, particularly for individuals, who are the main market for Slack. These slides describe the value proposition, customers, method of value capture, scope of activities and the method of strategic control for Slack.
How slow load times hurt UX (and what you can do about it) [FluentConf 2016]Tammy Everts
There are compelling arguments why companies need to care about serving faster pages to their users. Countless studies have found an irrefutable connection between load times and key performance indicators, ranging from page views to revenue.
In this talk, I outlined research-based reasons why you need to care about web performance and what you can do to make your pages faster. Your takeaways (I hope) will be an understanding of why improving load times is critical to delivering better online experiences and how to identify and fix common performance leeches on your pages.
Topics include:
- User expectations
- The impact of load time on business metrics (revenue, conversions, bounce rate, and user satisfaction/retention)
- The insidiousness of “page bloat”
- 19 things you can do to deliver a faster user experience

Google at WordCamp US: Performance IS User ExperienceRick Viscomi
Google sponsored WordCamp US this year in Nashville, TN. In the booth, Google showed attendees this presentation, which includes data about the state of the WordPress ecosystem. The data comes from HTTP Archive (httparchive.org), which is built on Lighthouse and WebPageTest.
Once upon a time early modems were slow. The broadband came along and web page byte count and code skyrocketed. Now? Now we have slowness even at broadband speeds due to page bloat. And if you're on mobile, you've got slowness and the added annoyance of possibly higher battery drain.
It's time to start thinking about web site performance as a feature in and of itself. Because if you're too slow, none of your other features will matter. Your visitor will be gone before the page renders.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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.

“Downtime is better for a B2C
web service than slowness.
Slowness makes you hate using
the service. Downtime you just
try again later.”

“We ran this experiment on mobile web
where we added 160 kilobytes of hidden images,
meaning the user saw nothing different.
We just dumped a bunch of hidden images onto the
page and increased page weight by 160 kilobytes.
It triggered a 12% increase in bounce rate.
Insane. Twelve percent is a lot of percent.”
