Beautiful weather yesterday on the roof of the @ATLTechVillage when Craig Hyde told all of @TeamRigor the great news: Splunk is acquiring Rigor! "This Opportunity is HUGE" indeed!

Wow, this is gold. The post critiques the practice of displaying ads above search results, a method used by some of Google's competitors back then. At the time Google published this, it only put ads in the sidebar to the right of search results: google.com/about/honestre…

We are right in the middle of Google's Web Vitals search rollout. Are your perf metrics still red? 🤬 Are you still confused about TBT and LCP? Ready to be faster? I'm hosting a Web Vitals webinar tomorrow events.splunk.com/core-web-vitals

This week’s major internet outage impacted wide swaths of the web. So what can #IT and #DevOps teams learn from the event? Splunker Billy Hoffman shares how to leverage #observability to reduce the future impact of an outage here: splk.it/35cH6y0 #SplunkO11y

😮 WebPageTest's new license is... ... not good for those vendors who just wrapped WPT in a pretty UI. They are stuck using an older WPT, and having to forward patch it, without using the new source going forward. 🤮github.com/WPO-Foundation…

@csswizardry Is there a good generic way to determine <img> or <picture> tags that should have lazy load? Seems like a "humans know it quickly but programs don't" issue. I've been toying with having some % of the tags having the attribute, or looking at elements outside the initial viewport.

A quick PSA, purely because I’ve gone through the exact same thing with my last three clients: Lazyloading is the exception rather than the rule. Don’t lazy-load anything you actually want people to see quickly (PDP images, heroes, etc.)

Love this post about CLS and the actual impact on user behavior. Remeber: better perf/UX is not the goal, improving business metrics is the goal, and you need to always evaluate performance metrics/changes through the lens of the bus. metrics (conversions, bounces, etc)
Tammy Everts@tameverts

I've spent a fair bit of time wrapping my head around CLS and looking at a lot of data. Here's my take on these vital (to me) questions: 🔶 What does CLS mean in terms of #UX? 🔶 Does it correlate to user/biz metrics? 🔶 How much should we care? speedcurve.com/blog/google-cu… #webperf

Five years ago, Rigor acquired Zoompf. Now @splunk is acquiring Rigor. It's a web performance turducken!

Been a while since I dug back into these from the early days! I grew a ton during my @TeamRigor years and it certainly played a big part in @conarro and I starting our business. Congrats team, on the acquisition by @Splunk today. Another great non-VC-backed story out of Atlanta.

@wayt @TeamRigor @craighyde Thanks for making the process easy and not overwhelming Wayt! Being on an M&A Zoom call with 30 lawyers from the other side, it's easy to get down rabbit holes. You really helped us surface what was important.

@JonnyBird @craighyde @TeamRigor Thanks Jon. Rigor's come a long way from those tiny offices on the 2nd floor of the pre-renovated ATV! Thank you for the early expose via the Atlanta Startup Village!
