You start by checking out the website to get a feel for the current state of the performance as well as the user experience. You identify bottlenecks using your initial check-up and configure Speed Kit to tackle them as best as possible. You will likely also stumble across frontend issues with lazy loading content shifts or else and will come up with solutions to improve upon those.
You share your (custom) solutions with the team to probably have them find their way back into our product or become the template for additional tooling you will develop.
