Do you know how patient your users are?
As web engineers, we're always looking at ways to reduce page load time. Then one day your product manager asks for a new feature that is "sure to bring in millions of dollars", but of course you know that it will make the site slower.
Do you have the data you need to decide if this tradeoff is worth it? Will enough users wait for the longer page load to get this new feature?
This talk covers how to get that data.
