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.

Fun with the Speculation Rules API. I kick of prerendering before users actually submit the search <form>

#webperf

32% Prerenders and 18% BF Cache = almost 50% "instant" navigations.

Meet UNO, the missing link in any TTFB analysis.

Without Unattributed Navigation Overhead you are lost, because TTFB is rarely the sum of Redirect+DNS+TCP+TLS in the field!

Understanding UNO has saved me countless hours in RUM.

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

When you realise that you can't get rid of "bad" CLS unless users upgrade their browser:

Or, all my Bad CLS values come from Edge/85
