Pick numbers, not vibes
A performance budget is a hard number: a maximum bundle size, a target Largest Contentful Paint. Vague goals slip. Concrete thresholds give the team something to defend in every code review.
Measure on real devices
A flagship laptop hides the cost of heavy pages. We test on mid-range phones and throttled networks because that is where most users live. The numbers there are the ones that matter.
Automate the guardrails
Budgets that rely on willpower fail. We wire checks into CI so a regression blocks the merge. Performance becomes a property of the pipeline, not a quarterly clean-up project.
