Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
Few things frustrate me more than feeling like I've done everything right, but nothing got better.
Say you've done all the right things. You've lazy-loaded and compressed and minified. You've seen improvements to Start Render or LCP or INP. But bounce rate didn't improve. Neither did conversion rate or any other business metric you care about. WHY???
The answer might lie on the performance plateau.
"I made my pages faster, but my business and user engagement metrics didn't change. WHY???"

After I shared the latest results from SpeedCurve's Industry Page Speed Benchmarks, a number of folks asked me how to create their own competitive benchmarking leaderboards. The good news: you can do that very easily in @speedcurve!
Here's a quick demo: https://support.speedcurve.com/docs/competitive-benchmarking
Why did The Guardian take top spot in our Media Page Speed Benchmarks? Because the main image was the fifth request on the page.
Calling the LCP element early seems like a no-brainer, right? Yet too often, I see it called MUCH too late.

Yesterday we shared the Media Page Speed Benchmarks for the US, so now we're sharing the latest results for the EU/UK. While it's great to see our friends at The Guardian had an LCP time of just over 2 seconds, unfortunately 12 out of 14 sites failed to meet Google's 2.5 second threshold.

FACT: Business folks at your company DO NOT care about page speed metrics.
But that doesn't mean they don't care about page speed! It means you need to connect it to metrics they DO care about – like conversion rate, revenue, and bounce rate. Here's how to do that.
