Want to know how to optimise YOUR pages on Akamai with #EarlyHints?

Book your personal and free consultation (30min) with one of our #webperf experts!

103 Early Hints is now GA and is fully supported in Ion, DSA, WAA and KSD.

Akamai's implementation of 103 Early Hints is an effective way to improve performance.

The production version removes the limitations of the prototype and makes implementation even easier.

Understanding UNO has saved me countless hours in RUM.

Although I mainly focus on my P98, it was a pleasant surprise to see my P75 drop below the magical 500ms mark.

I was about to deploy some performance improvements. Luckily I spotted that Chrome/124 started rolling out
Never deploy the same day as Chrome to keep your RUM analysis clean and honest.#webperf
Yesterday I activated Speculation Rules for my logged in users. My mPulse RUM data shows the immediate increase in prerendered pages (green) vs standard navigations (blue). #webperf
