Hi folks,

Welcome to Performance Matters. Do you want to see the impact of the performance improvements you make over time? Raygun Real User Monitoring has a new line graph to help you do exactly that. Check it out here.

We love seeing case studies on improving performance. This week, we have two—how Raygun improved performance by 83%, and how eCommerce giant Allegro uses ESLint to improve performance for 21 million registered accounts.

Enjoy!
