#### Editor’s note
 

Getting web performance data is relatively easy with various free and paid tools. Data is only the beginning, though. We need to understand the context of our audience, set goals and choose a reliable monitoring method accessible to cross-disciplinary teams.

How else could we succeed without learning where we’re at and where we want to be? We must know what we’re measuring and why. Heaps of data without goals and context are only noise.
