Fast sites, no magic

Every site we ship is on Lighthouse 95+ and most are 99. There is no secret — just a long list of small decisions, repeated.

Fast sites, no magic

The performance budget is a moral document, not a technical one. Once we publish it, every team agrees not to violate it without a conversation. The conversation is the point.

We default to server-rendered HTML, ship the minimum JavaScript needed for interactivity, and treat fonts and images like first-class engineering work. We measure on real devices, not just the dashboard.
