Jonathan Day from Aligent: The Secrets to Optimizing Site Performance | #315
Episode description
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Jonathan Day, founder, managing director and ecommerce strategist of Aligent, an Adelaide based ecommerce agency specialising in ecommerce development, design and strategy. Established in 2009, they now have over 100 team members and develop ecommerce solutions for brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Kathmandu, Coopers Brewery and Mitsubishi Motors. In this chat, Jonathan shares why performance isn’t just a technical activity but an exercise in understanding and reacting to customer psychology. He breaks down why Google’s Core Web Vitals should be the tool you use to measure your website performance - and breaks down the metrics you should be looking at. He gives us other tools to measure errors, load testing and more. And he shares why getting site performance right is similar to how Disneyland designs their ride experience. Got you in now?
