Quality gates are benchmarks in the software delivery lifecycle that define specific, measurable, and achievable success criteria a service must meet before moving to the next phase of the software delivery pipeline. Automating quality gates creates reliable checks and balances and speeds up the process by avoiding manual intervention.

In the past, the answer would be based on the load time of a page, but over the years, we have evolved our approach to site speed to incorporate new metrics, alone or in combination with existing metrics. Today, when asking “how fast,” we need to look at more than load speed and paint metrics and incorporate interactivity and user experience.
