Performance Auditing
Performance auditing is a systematic process of analyzing and evaluating the performance of software applications, websites, or systems to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities. It involves measuring key metrics like load times, resource usage, and responsiveness against established benchmarks or best practices. The goal is to provide actionable insights for improving speed, scalability, and user experience.
Developers should learn performance auditing to ensure their applications meet user expectations for speed and reliability, particularly in competitive markets where slow performance can lead to high bounce rates and lost revenue. It is essential for optimizing web applications, mobile apps, and backend systems, especially when dealing with large-scale deployments, e-commerce sites, or real-time services where latency directly impacts functionality and user satisfaction.
