[issue 127]()
 
#### Editor’s note
 
It feels like there’s never been so much movement in web performance metrics. New ones appear as an experiment, to later on become recommended as “must track”. All of this experimentation, observation and gathering feedback are as much as principles of creating new metrics, as they are of performance work as well.
 
New ways to measure help us quantify and focus on critical aspects of user experience. The difficult task of creating new metrics enables, hopefully, creating a better web. If you are a part of this process—I’m grateful for your work!
