I believe that given that one knows the user agents of users, it is possible to create a test suite with browser automation tools to measure performance in some interactive scenarios in different browsers. It's still 'lab data', but not as crude as just time-to-first-render or whatever you can measure without considering user actions.
I doubt the difference with real data will matter at this point. Am I wrong?
- scinos 5y agoFor starters, you lab data doesn't account for latency from different locations or client caches.
- southerntofu 5y agoGood point! But there's an abundance of network tools to simulate latency and packet loss. Last i checked, even my Tor Browser has that in the debugging tools (F12) and can also disable caching.
