Speed is a feature, not an optimisation

Performance isn't something you sprinkle on at the end. It's a product decision that shapes everything before it.

Speed is a feature, not an optimisation

Every hundred milliseconds you make a user wait, you lose a little of them. Speed isn't a nice-to-have you bolt on before launch — it's a feature you design toward from the first commit.

Budgets, not hopes

We set a performance budget at the start: a target for load time, bundle size and interaction latency. Every decision — a font, a library, an animation — is weighed against it. Hope is not a strategy; a budget is.

The right work at the right time

Most slowness comes from doing work at the wrong moment. Render on the server what can be. Defer what the user can't see. Stream what's slow. The fastest code is the code that never runs on the critical path.

Perceived speed

Real speed matters, but so does perceived speed. Optimistic UI, skeletons and instant feedback make a product feel fast even while work happens. We design both — the milliseconds and the feeling of them.
