This talk introduces a practical approach to performance testing using Playwright and Google’s powerful profiling tools to help you measure, monitor, and maintain top-tier performance from development to deployment.

We'll walk through how to capture and analyze key performance indicators like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint, and trace-based audits, and use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to uncover hidden bottlenecks. You’ll also learn how to integrate performance checks into CI pipelines and apply performance budgets that fail your builds when regressions appear.

Whether you're optimizing single-page apps, e-commerce sites, or internal dashboards, this session equips you with open-source tools and automation strategies to ensure your product is not just working, but working brilliantly.
