@hunkemoller.bsky.social: UX Score 93 to 48 after a platform migration. CLS: near-zero → 0.18 (elements jump around) INP: 120ms → 419ms (every tap feels sluggish) New platform, new features, measurably slower for every visitor. No replatform should ship without matching the old site on every CWV.

Client site: UX Score 90+. Green across the board. Fast. Except the checkout. CLS: 0.7. Payment selector loads late, form fields jump, users type into the wrong field. Shows up as "checkout abandonment on mobile." Nobody looks at layout shifts. Check CLS on your checkout, not just the homepage.

The hardest part of performance work isn't knowing what to fix. It's getting approval to fix it Our tool shows estimated revenue you're leaving on the table from performance issues Not what you'd gain. What you're losing Q2planning deadlines are now. Run before the meeting. iron-out.io/benchmark/

Coolblue vs Bol, web performance comparison: Bol.com: UX Score 100 Coolblue: UX Score 93 Both strong. But the 6-month per-metric trends show where each improved or regressed. Our compare tool shows sparklines for each CWV, threshold lines, and shareable URLs. See iron-out.io/benchmark/compare

Audit finding: 2 sprints on image optimisation, zero LCP improvement. LCP sub-parts breakdown told the story: - TTFB: 2.1s - Resource Load Delay: 1.4s - Resource Load Duration: 500ms (already optimised) - Render Delay: 200ms TTFB was half the LCP budget. Once that was addressed → LCP 1.6s.

Why we should stop talking performance metrics to Business Leaders
Web performance is a lot like walking on those moving walkways at the airport. When it moves smoothly, you barely notice it. You feel fast. Supported. In control. But when one section stutters, even ...

🚀 Quick Performance Tip: Not every conversion issue is a checkout issue. Slow pages earlier in the flow mean fewer baskets and fewer orders. #pagespeed #CRO #ux #webperformance #ecommercegrowth #digitalexperience

🚀 Quick Performance Tip: Most sites do not lose customers at checkout. They lose them to small frictions earlier in the flow. A blank screen, a shifting button, a slow filter. Each breaks trust. And trust is what sells. #ecommerce #uxdesign #webperformance #CRO #pagespeed

🚀 Quick Performance Tips (series intro): Performance still is not a hygiene factor in e-commerce. But it should be. Over the next few weeks I will share a short series on how flow, friction and trust shape user behaviour and sales. #ecommerce #webperformance #conversionrate #digitalgrowth

2 months ago, I gave a talk at @frontmania.bsky.social where I showcased a demo I created to highlight INP issues on a PDP page when switching colors. It showed how small delays can frustrate users and hurt conversions. Check it out: inp-demo.netlify.app/product-detail #webperf #INP #performance
