Wikimedia Performance – Page 3

Tracking down slow event handlers with Event Timing

We’re taking part in the ongoing Event Timing Chrome origin trial, in order to experiment with that API early and give feedback to its designers.

Performance perception: Correlation to RUM metrics

When we set out to ask Wikipedia visitors their opinion of page load performance, our main hope was to answer an age-old question: which RUM metric matters the most to users? And more interestingly, which ones matter the most to our users on our content.

Performance perception: The effect of late-loading banners

Unlike most websites, Wikipedia and its sister projects are ad-free. This is actually one of the reasons why our performance is so good. We don’t have to deal with slow and invasive third-parties.

Performance perception: How satisfied are Wikipedia users?

We’ve recently published research on performance perception that we did last year. The micro survey used in this study is still running on multiple Wikipedia languages and gives us insights into perceived performance.

Evaluating Element Timing for images

In the search for a better user experience metric, we have tried out the upcoming Element Timing for Images API in Chrome.

Introducing: Autonomous Systems report
