#### Editor’s note
 

Some performance metrics pinpoint a selected point in time (for example, Largest Contentful Paint). In contrast, others focus on choosing the largest possible measurement (think Cumulative Layout Shift or Interaction to Next Paint). Both types are helpful in different contexts.

The reason I choose the latter is that it helps create resilience. If we’re optimising for the least favourable scenario, we are more likely to guarantee an all-inclusive, positive experience detached from an expectation of high-end networking and devices.

Hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.
