⚡️ 52: Learn about the future of HTTP and more.

Calibre Performance Newsletter #### PerformanceNewsletter
#### Issue 52
#### Editor’s Note

Web performance can be a tricky field to navigate. With dozens of various metrics, portraying different stages of user experience and networking, sometimes the numbers and definitions become confusing (what’s the difference between FMP and FCP anyway?).

With a more organised push towards tracking a set of metrics grading each aspect of user experience, it’s going to become easier to gain visibility into areas that we might have otherwise missed. With clear advice, come clear goals to be reached.

Just like this newsletter is curated, so should be your ”must track” metric list.
