#### Web performance is a hot topic now but how will upcoming technologies change the way we manage it in the future?

Web performance is [critical](/2015/web-performance-optimisation-basics/) to a successful online business.
Keeping on top of the latest technologies, techniques and practices allow us to stay ahead of the curve and get the edge over our competition.
This competitive edge comes through improved user experience and reduced operational costs (and the pride in achieving a [sub-1,000 Speed Index!](http://www.sitepoint.com/speed-index-measuring-page-load-time-different-way/))

New technologies are emerging which will change the face of web performance forever.
These technologies range from the underlying transport mechanism for our transmitted bytes to new javascript frameworks and an ever-growing range of browsing devices.
This complex and rapidly changing environment makes it harder than ever to plan and manage web performance.
In this short series I've attempted to summarise the key upcoming issues and describe how each one may impact your day-to-day life as a stakeholder in an online business.
I've also estimated when you need to really start thinking about it:

1. Now..
  *	[No Flash!](#noflash)
  *	[HTTPS Everywhere](#https)
  *	[Responsive Images](#responsive)
  *	[Mobile-First](#mobile)
  *	[Micro-Services and Containers](#micro)
2. Very Soon...
  * HTTP/2
  * _More_ Javascript?
  * Third-Party Functionality<commit_msg>More tweaks<commit_after>---
