Hello web perf enthusiasts! Welcome to espisode 2 of the planet performance podcast. This is an interview with Patrick Meenan. Pat is amazing, he's probably most known for WebPageTest but he has worked on Chrome too, he knows browsers, networks, CDNs, protocols, the list goes on. He has done so much to make the Web faster, and at the same time he's also one of the nicest people I've met.It was a thrill to sit down and catch up with him during his visit to the Facebook office in Menlo Park, CA. He had just recently joined Facebook to work on web speed, which is also the team I am part of, so naturally I am beyond excited about this.So we talked about WebPageTest and its origins, about HTTP2 prioritizations and about a whole lot more. Enjoy!
