Image Performance: Good for your users, good for your business

We know that there's a lot of optimizations that we can use to improve the performance of our images - but does this work really translate into wins for your company? In this talk, Allison McKnight, performance engineer at Etsy, will share real-world examples of the positive impact that image optimizations can have on metrics that your bosses and clients care about.
