Overview

You will profile real sites, separate lab vs field signals, and sequence fixes that survive content edits after you leave.

What you work through

  • Chrome DevTools deep dives with filmstrip discipline

  • Third-party script containment tactics
  • Performance budgets expressed for PMs in business language
  • Regression alerts using lightweight CI budgets

Outcomes

  1. Ship a prioritized backlog tied to user-facing metrics
  2. Present before/after RUM charts with honest caveats
