We have an easy to use tutorial on how to use Vue.js 2 + Firebase, and how to improve your site's performance moving beyond Google's PageSpeed Insights. We also address the dreaded change management and how to fix it, and wrap up with a recently slowed down global cyber attack.

Faster Sites: Beyond PageSpeed Insights
Source: The Moz Blog
Takeaway: Google’s PageSpeed Insights is an easy-to-use tool that offers an easy way to test website performance. In additional to being a “signal,” a factor Google uses to determine search engine results, faster page load yields better user experience. While many focus on optimizing page code and referenced files such as images, improving latency, the time it takes between a user request and server response can make an even greater difference. Don’t pass up on all the opportunities to improve performance by overlooking latency, and some easy ways to decrease it.

Why Change Management Sucks (And How to Fix It)
Source: Wrike Blog
Takeaway: Managing change within an organization is a delicate and difficult task. Many traditional methods of affecting change do not alter underlying behaviors and opinions, and as such do not get the level of buy in that leadership would like.
To affect deeper change, the whole team needs to be aligned together in support of the change. There are a few guiding principles in this article to help reach this state:
- Assess Readiness
- Be Transparent
- Address Concerns
- Measure Success
- Keep Evaluating
Keeping this in mind while moving a company through changes can improve the overall quality not only of the buy in of the team, but also in the final change that is made.
