Comment on Overcoming the Momentum of Traditional Web Performance by Stephen

True enough. There are a number of point tools available that help companies identify issues that may affect the customer experience. If you are a business, some critical question questions to ask are:

Have the performance changes helped improve the experience of all visitors?
Can changes in visitor experience be identified as they occur?
Can changes in the visitor experience be detected as site/browser/device changes occur?
Is the experience issue affecting ten, ten thousand, or all visitors?
What do these changes do to evolve performance as fast as visitors' expectations evolve?

The expectation of performance improvement is only one aspect the visitor experience.

Overall, a valid point: measuring what is happening in the user’s browser is increasingly important.

Comment on Why I Will Not Recommend Gutter Helmet by Vincent

Do you know for sure that your walls and attic are insulated as well as possible and correctly? does your roof have an ice guard membrane along gutter lines and valleys? Lastly, do you have heat cable installed along these areas. These three solutions are what you can do to prevent ice damming, but in no way are they a 100% garauntee against ice damming. This is still an act of nature. Also, this is a leaf protection system and advertised as such not an Ice control system. Your installation company sounds bad. But the product sounds normal.
