Long-term performance

When it comes to web performance, it pays to think in milliseconds. But it’s also worth stepping back and looking at longer timescales. In this talk, we’ll look at a website that’s been online for decades.

We’ll take a look at what technologies and techniques have emerged and disappeared over the years. What worked, what didn’t, what made the most difference, and what has stood the test of time.

Making a fast website can be challenging enough; keeping a website fast is harder still!
