Web Performance News, April 2020

We skipped March because it was crazy! Our priority was to keep ourselves and close ones safe. We hope that all the curves will be flattened soon!
We’ve got quite a few blogs and videos in our April edition. So, let’s check them out!
One of the biggest web performance events is #PerfMatters Conference and it happened in April! It was fully remote this year, and you could find pretty much every video on youtube using “#PerfMatters Conference 2020” search term. My favourites so far are

That’s it for today. I hope you liked it. To not miss future releases subscribe on our email newsletter here.
