Web performance

Related to #99. Notes from the front-end team meeting held on 02/05

How do we get there?

• There’s a number of grunt/gulp tasks to measure performance while in Development.
• There’s gulp tasks for setting performance budgets. Can we talk about those in the standards?
• Is everyone aware of the throttling capability in DevTools? Sometimes I load pages using a 56k modem to see the difference.
• Discussing performance budgets in the front-end standards

Recommended steps

1. Discuss and determine performance budget guidelines/standards
2. Add them to the front-end standards
3. Implement gulp/grunt tasks as part of cf generator

How do we measure success?

• New Relic has performance stats and we can see what our performance looks like in Production
• Should a performance budget be part of the SAG review?
