Understanding UX and Hacking Perceived Performance HD

We all care about making pages faster, but *why* do we care? And how fast is fast enough? Tammy Everts is sharing findings — from user surveys, eye tracking studies, and neuroscientific research — that answer these questions. She’ll also shares some useful tips for creating the illusion of faster pages. Some of the questions Tammy explores during this session: • Why do we, as internet users, crave fast online experiences? • There are a ton of performance metrics, but which one(s) are the best for measuring perceived UX? • Are users more sensitive to performance issues in some contexts than in others? What are those contexts? • Do people perceive performance differently on their desktop and mobile devices? • What are the page-level issues that hurt UX the most? • What are some tricks you can use to make pages *appear* to render faster? As a senior researcher and evangelist at SOASTA, Tammy Everts studies the technical, business, and human sides of web/application performance and shares her findings via countless blog posts, presentations, case studies, articles, and reports. She runs the popular industry blog the Performance Beacon, and she co-curates http://WPOstats.com Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/tammyeverts/understanding-ux-hacking-perceived-performance NY Web Performance Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/Web-Performance-NY/
