Celebrating issue 50 of Performance Matters

When we first launched Performance Matters a year ago, we didn’t just want to surface the performance stories of the big tech companies; our goal was to share and highlight the hard work of thousands of people making software faster.

Here are the 10 most popular articles from all 50 issues of our weekly performance newsletter. Enjoy!

How we made an 83% performance improvement using Real User Monitoring

As applications evolve, we may start to lose visibility into why things are slow. Web apps often suffer in silence as customers are more likely to leave when they’re unsatisfied rather than reach out.
