Performance is a feature. A look at the practices that keep our web products fast, accessible and easy to maintain.
A slow site quietly taxes every other investment you make in growth. Faster pages convert better, rank better and cost less to run — performance is a feature, not a finishing touch.
We treat Core Web Vitals as budgets, not aspirations. Every pull request is measured against them, and a regression blocks the merge just like a failing test would.
Server components and streaming let us send meaningful content first and hydrate the interactive parts progressively. Users see the page almost immediately, even on slow networks.
Accessibility and maintainability ride along for free when you build on a strong design system. Consistent components mean fewer bugs, faster onboarding and a product your team can extend with confidence.
