Performance Sprint
One week of focused engineering on Core Web Vitals.
Built for sites that already exist and already work but feel slow on the seventy-fifth-percentile device. The brief is fixed and the deliverable is fixed: we move LCP, INP, and CLS into the green for the median real user, instrument the deploy pipeline so they stay green, and write a short field-manual for the team. Common fixes include image pipeline rebuilds, font-loading discipline, render-blocking work, hydration cost reductions, and route-level code-splitting.
What ships.
Standard list for this chapter. Adjusted per brief when the engagement warrants it.
How it runs.
Same shape every time. Skipping a phase is rare and always written down.

Set up the measurement harness. Document where we start, in writing.
02 — Tue — Asset pass
Image pipeline, font loading, render-blocking third parties.
03 — Wed — Code pass
Hydration, code splitting, deferred work.
04 — Thu — CI pass
Performance budgets in the deploy pipeline.
05 — Fri — Readout
Final measurement, written manual, live walkthrough.
