Henri Helvetica: Optimize Prime: More Pixels Than Meets the Eye

About this talk:

Optimize Prime: More Pixels Than Meets the Eye

The growing the complexities, the more complex are the metrics. TCP slow starts, time to first byte and navigation timing are a few of the many metrics we use in web performance. What is not a Gordian knot is the page weight. Oft a red herring of poorly managed images resulting in unacceptable #ux, it also is infamous for its destruction of data plans.

2017 has marked a decade since the iPhone, and supporting it with the wide range of similar devices is challenging. By all accounts, the mobile device is the #1 choice for accessing online content. "Optimize Prime" is a talk about the available old and new image formats, impact on rendering and #UX, tools to oversee their mismanagement, and the need to address a worldly audience.

Henri is a developer and O’Reilly Fluent Conference committee member who has turned his interests to a passionate mix of site performance engineering and pinches of user experience. When not reading the deluge of daily research docs and case studies, or indiscriminately auditing sites in devtools, Henri can be found contributing back to the community, co-programming meetups including the Toronto Web Performance Group or conducting "lunch and learns" at various bootcamps. Otherwise, he’s riding track bikes, tooling with music production software or more recently, focusing on breaking 20 mins on the 5k.
