You Might Not Have A Web Performance Problem | DebugBear Should you optimize your website performance? Maybe you shouldn't, even if you get a poor Performance score on PageSpeed Insights.

Here's a new article explaining why a poor PageSpeed Insights Performance score is often ok and how you can really tell if performance is a problem for you.

www.debugbear.com/blog/poor-pe...

But it turned out that the performance of his website was fine.

Why was he concerned anyway? PageSpeed Insights gave him a poor Performance score in the diagnostic section.

I'd love to have some kind of senior ops unicorn working at DebugBear.

Someone who can handle B2B sales convos, knows a bit about page speed, can write onboarding emails, create a home working policy, do some customer success...

Anyone have advice on how to find that person?

Is the GTM analyzer one yours?

Love people at #perfnow sharing performance tools they wish existed.

Great ideas for free @debugbear.com tools we could build!
