Really nice post, easy to understand even for a backend dev. Is the CRP metrics in dev tools or did you use an extension?

Thanks Francois! CRP is a way to help you understand what is affecting your page rendering and how to optimise it. I don't think it appears in DevTools but there may be an extension out there.

Someone just pointed out to me that Google's Lighthouse actually does give you critical metrics, along with a tonne of other useful optimisation stuff. It is actually more geared towards progressive web apps but useful nonetheless for what you're asking about.
