Thinking Beyond Core Web Vitals | Anna Migas | performance.now() 2024
Small web performance tweaks and optimisations might not make a difference for some of the users: there can be physical barriers that will make it impossible to achieve the fast page load and the smooth browsing. After working for over a year on a project directed towards emerging markets (namely Nigeria and Kenya), I came to realise that the popular web performance metrics are all centred around a specific type of person: someone who is used to the fast and reliable connection. But when the conditions are not ideal on daily basis, what are our choices? In my talk we will chat about the improvements that will have real impact on the user experience for users browsing the web in the harsh conditions. I will also share details about the background of users in Africa and how their perception might differ from the users we typically develop for.
