To start off the podcast, Dominik and Steffen dive deeper into the question: for what or for whom should PageSpeed be optimized?
The user should be in the main focus of PageSpeed optimization, because a fast website contributes to a good UX. But should you consider users who come for the first time to the homepage or should you look at returning visitors?
On the other hand a high PageSpeed score is one of the most important numbers for website clients these days. Does increasing the score - without the user in mind - force developers to think of techniques to trick the measurement tool?
