Fast and Furious: The Psychology of Web Performance
People don’t like to wait. It’s been proven numerous times that slow websites irritate us. We know that for users to have an enjoyable user experience, a website has to load between 1-2 seconds, but why do we need it to load quickly?

Browser Automation And Frontend Performance with xk6-Browser
In this talk, I want to introduce you to xk6-browser. xk6-browser is an extension to k6 which brings browser automation and end-to-end web testing to k6 while supporting core k6 features. It adds browser-level scripting APIs to interact with real browsers and collect frontend metrics as part of your k6 tests. With xk6-browser, this gives you the ability to measure how your frontend is behaving during certain events which would be difficult to catch from the protocol-level.
