Performance budgets: how product teams ship fast without hero image bloat

In today's fast-paced digital world, website performance is paramount. Using performance budgets helps teams maintain control over website size and loading times, ensuring a snappy user experience.

What are Performance Budgets?

Performance budgets are limits we set on various aspects of a website, such as file sizes, loading times, and the number of requests. They help us avoid 'bloat' caused by oversized images or unnecessary scripts.

  • File size: Limit the size of images, videos, and other assets.
  • Loading time: Set a target loading time for the page.
  • Number of requests: Reduce the number of HTTP requests for faster performance.

How to use them?

To use performance budgets effectively, it's crucial to integrate them into the development process. This means defining them early in the project and monitoring and adjusting them regularly.
