metrics
not all metrics are born equal
different metrics for different people on different occasions with different
levels of disclosure
kpis, enablers, predictors
kpis
definition + target
what are we working toward?
of interest to the business
core web vitals
‘which number on which dashboard of which service?’
“We want a one-second improvement in Largest Contentful Paint.” —
My Client
None
None
None
enablers
metrics that directly influence kpis
of interest to engineering teams
ttfb, input delay
predictors
signals of good/bad performance
highly quantitative
of interest to engineers
bundle size, long tasks, blocking css
great for root-causing and reverse engineering
localhost
localhost is: seldom live-like, pretty dang fast, un-bundled
know your tools inside out
None

core web vitals are too big for localhost
if you’re working locally, measure locally

these are very private metrics
backstops
…and budgets
what is the worst possible performance we will accept?
set it to the worst reading in the last release
cycle
None
this is where synthetic testing comes into it
synthetic testing; real user monitoring
when to fail a release
None
predictors as tripwires
None
budgets versus targets
budgets are backstops; targets are ambitions
target == kpi
None
monitoring
the m in rum stands for monitoring

playbook
“Fighting regressions took priority over optimizations […]” — Michelle Vu,
Pinterest
None
it’s all for nothing if you don’t have a plan
response = f(severity, duration)
severity
acceptable: <10%
moderate: 10–25%
severe: 25–50%
critical: >50%
duration
temporary: 24–48hr
sustained: >48hr
long-term: >1 release cycle
unresolved: many release cycles
a kpi regression of over 10% for one week requires
remediation in the next sprint
a kpi regression of over 100% for one hour requires
rollback immediately
a kpi regression of over 25% for one day requires
remediation in the current sprint
an enabler regression of over any% for any time needs
the team’s attention over the next sprint
a predictor regression of over any% for any time needs
my attention over the next sprint
you need a framework to fill in these blanks
early triage
who, what, when, where, and why?
what?
what has regressed?
when?
when did it start? is it still like that?
where?
is it a business-critical part of the site?
who?
who owns the problem?
why?
can you conduct early triage?

key takeaways
increase confidence
use the right tool for the right job
have a plan of attack
agree; commit
