James Simpson from GoldFireStudios gave a presentation on web performance where he emphasized that performance is more than just load times, profiling websites even if they seem fast, and using multiple tools to see the full picture of a site's performance across different devices. He highlighted how not all users have the latest technology so sites need to work well on slower mobile devices, and that just because newer technologies exist doesn't mean they need to be used if they hurt performance.
