Abstract:

Mobile app performance is critical to user satisfaction, engagement, and retention. With users spending significant time on mobile apps, development teams must prioritize performance optimization. This article explores the key performance metrics that impact the user experience, including crash rates, app start time, page load time, scroll performance, and app size. It also outlines the industry benchmarks for each of these metrics. Discusses the process of improving app performance through offensive and defensive optimization strategies. Offensive opportunities focus on identifying and resolving specific performance issues, while defensive opportunities involve preventing and catching performance regressions early. By combining these strategies and continuously monitoring performance metrics, mobile app development teams can deliver high-quality user experiences and maintain a competitive edge in the app market.

Keywords:

Application Performance Monitoring (APM), Industry benchmarks, Mobile app performance, Offensive and defensive optimization strategies, Performance metrics.
