    Performance is a deep and nuanced domain. There's a lot that can go

    on perceived performance. Global baselines matter as many teams have
    low performance management maturity and many popular frameworks fail
    to ward against catastrophic results. This article looks at current
    web technologies to provide an up-to-date understanding for working
    web developers. It looks at what's changed since last year and what technologies new projects should consider.
