#### Editor’s note
 

Often, efforts to enhance speed begin with one person caring deeply about user experience and access. They might be making improvements as they work on other tasks or in-between. After some time, they might convince others to form a more formal initiative (perhaps a Speed Team!).

The beginnings might be humble, but eventually, what starts with one person, can become an organisation-wide movement. It’s inspiring to read stories of ”grassroots” performance culture because not one organisation magically arrives at having excellent speed.

If you’re that person, churning away at speed improvements, trying to make meaningful change—keep going. **Your work matters.**
