A speed gauge on a pale background with an amber arc and a dark needle, well inside its budget mark

Teams rarely decide to make a product slow. It happens one library, one image and one tracking script at a time.

A budget, not a wish

Every project we start gets a performance budget: how big the page may be, how long it may take to show something useful. The build fails when a change breaks it.

Fewer dependencies also mean fewer places for an attacker to hide. Every package we remove is one less thing to patch.
