Performance Budgets for the Modern Web

Monitoring strategies, optimization techniques, and automated enforcement in CI/CD pipelines.

Setting the Budget

We show how to define budgets mapped to business KPIs—balancing brand experience with load time thresholds.

Tooling Stack

Integrate Lighthouse CI, WebPageTest, and custom synthetic checks to keep teams accountable.

• Automated pull-request gates flag regressions.
• Performance snapshots for every release via GitHub Actions.
• Alerts routed to Slack with actionable guidance.

Governance & Culture

Performance budgets succeed when they become shared language for designers, engineers, and marketers.
