Performance is important. It can mean the difference between making a sale, or losing a customer to the competition. Your website needs to respond quickly to requests from users and this means optimizing your site with performance in mind. Examining network timelines and PageSpeed scores is all well and good, but there's a whole area of performance optimization that this technical stuff doesn't cover.

In this blog post, you're going to learn about a few key concepts of perceived performance, and some techniques you can use to make your websites feel faster.
