Images, video, audio and other media are a big part of what brings the web to life and visitors have come to expect a multimedia experience across the web. However, they also have a cost that needs to be balanced, as they drive page weight ever higher and performance slower. Join Tammy Everts of SpeedCurve for a fireside chat exploring how images, video, and audio impact site performance, user experience, and business metrics. We’ll discuss real-world data and practical strategies that balance visual impact with speed.

Her book Time Is Money: The Business Value of Web Performance (O’Reilly, 2016) is a distillation of much of this research (but there’s always more to be learned).
