The first phase involves validating functional correctness, scalability, and performance concerns and ensuring the new systems’ resilience before the migration. These include Quality-of-Experience(QoE) measurements at the customer device level, Service-Level-Agreements (SLAs), and business-level Key-Performance-Indicators(KPIs).

The usual caveats also apply: Performance is a deep and nuanced domain, and much can go wrong beyond content size and composition. How sites manage resources after-load can have a big impact on perceived performance. Until and unless teams have better data about their performance, the global baseline budget should be enforced.
