FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about performance optimization engagements.

Frontend or backend?

Both. Most engagements touch frontend rendering, network, and at least one database/query layer.

Do you set perf budgets?

Yes-budgets in CI are part of every engagement. Otherwise the regressions return within a quarter.

Will this break things?

Optimizations land behind feature flags or canary deploys. We measure before, during, and after.
