A Practical Guide to Debugging Browser Performance with OpenTelemetry - Purvi Kanal, Honeycomb

So you’ve taken a look at the web vitals for your site and it’s… not looking good. You’re overwhelmed, and you don’t know what change to make because everything seems like too big of a project to make a real difference. There are so many measurements to keep track of and the standards cited seem even scarier. This is extremely normal, web performance standards can feel impossible to meet for a lot of us. In this talk we’ll dig into how to instrument browser apps to measure performance, because we can't improve what we can’t measure! We’ll learn how to instrument with OpenTelemetry and how to make sense of that data. We’ll cover current best practices for what to have in your browser observability toolkit, and how to set a performance baseline to work towards a good modern web experience.
