Hi, I am excited to announce you that we now have a performance dashboard (speed) for the wikipedia.org portal page.
Thanks to Ori and Peter from the performance team to listen to us and make this dashboard happen in a few days only. Some context: Moiz and I had a quick discussion late last week with Ori. I wanted to meet the Performance team and see what tools they are using and if we could benefit from that to measure the performance improvements made on www.wikipedia.org portal page. It turns out they have tools, and they are excited in making them available to us! They are heavily using http://www.webpagetest.org/ as their performance tool to test static pages. And even better, the Performance Team runs a private instance of WebPageTest at http://wpt.wmftest.org on AWS, they collect all the metrics and display them into a great dashboard. I met Peter this morning and he showed me the dashboard and how it works. Peter was also very excited to collaborate to collect metrics for the wikipedia portal and see a desire to improve this page with performance in mind (and using their new tool for that). As of now, the dashboard is available here: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/webpagetest You must select: *Project -> portals *to see www.wikipedia.org metrics. Looking forward to push the first improvements!
