Web Vitals for a Healthier Open Web

Ben Morss

What is arguably the largest threat to the Open Web? Falling behind on user experience compared to walled-garden ecosystems. So how do we fight back? Web Vitals are new quantitative metrics that measure user experience on the web. Rather than focusing on performance for performance's sake, these metrics capture a more holistic view of what makes a healthy site. In this presentation, we'll discuss how these metrics were chosen, what tools you can use to measure them, and some simple ways to improve scores of Drupal sites. We'll learn why a healthy and performant user experience is vital to the future of the open web!
