Hey guys,

I just published my first video about speed optimization. I decided to start by covering the new Performance Dashboard and Google’s Core Web Vitals.

This sets the foundation for further speed topics.

Thanks again to everyone who sent me their stores. It made the examples more realistic. I hoped to dig deeper into each store but that wouldn’t fit into one video! I’ll try to show more practical solutions in the next one.

Watch the video here:

P.S. Tomorrow I’m going on a hiking trip and will be offline for a week, so apologies if I go silent and don’t reply to emails!
