Beautiful weather yesterday on the roof of the @ATLTechVillage when Craig Hyde told all of @TeamRigor the great news: Splunk is acquiring Rigor! "This Opportunity is HUGE" indeed!
We are right in the middle of Google's Web Vitals search rollout. Are your perf metrics still red? 🤬 Are you still confused about TBT and LCP? Ready to be faster? I'm hosting a Web Vitals webinar tomorrow

This week’s major internet outage impacted wide swaths of the web. So what can #IT and #DevOps teams learn from the event? Splunker Billy Hoffman shares how to leverage #observability to reduce the future impact of an outage here: splk.it/35cH6y0 #SplunkO11y
Odd HTTP question. How is expiration computed for responses that have a Cache-Control: max-age, but do not have a Date header? example: s.pinimg.com/ct/core.js (cc: @mnot @paulcalvano)
😮 WebPageTest's new license is... ... not good for those vendors who just wrapped WPT in a pretty UI. They are stuck using an older WPT, and having to forward patch it, without using the new source going forward. 🤮github.com/WPO-Foundation/we…

@HenriHelvetica wrote a fantastic chapter on page weight in the @HTTPArchive Web Almanac where you can dive deeper into these stats - almanac.httparchive.org/en/2…
Evergreen browsers + security headers have been such an incredible benefit. Glad to see it accelerating
PoC. First Google applications are deploying *all* new web platform security features (+new isolation headers!) we presented last year at Google I/O.
Isolation headers where quite straight forward to deploy

Love this post about CLS and the actual impact on user behavior. Remeber: better perf/UX is not the goal, improving business metrics is the goal, and you need to always evaluate performance metrics/changes through the lens of the bus. metrics (conversions, bounces, etc)
I've spent a fair bit of time wrapping my head around CLS and looking at a lot of data. Here's my take on these vital (to me) questions:
🔶 What does CLS mean in terms of #UX?
🔶 Does it correlate to user/biz metrics?
🔶 How much should we care?

Thanks to the awesome @addyosmani for writing this post on preloading hero images! I was just finishing up a guide for @TeamRigor on preload hints and hadn't known you could specify a srcset. A super cool and timely hint!
