Resource Scheduling – the core of Web Performance

On 4th December 2018 at The Financial Times as part of End of year special : Kornel Lesinski and Patrick Meenan

Patrick is going to talk in-depth about resource prioritization and why it matters so much for the user experience. He will talk about prioritization from the browser's perspective, upcoming specs that provide developers with more fine-grained control, the impact of 3rd-parties, content sharding, HTTP/2 and the role the edge web server plays (and why it may be a lot more broken that you may realize). We will also go over recent changes to WebPageTest to help make it easier to debug HTTP/2 and resource scheduling.
