Airbnb Web Performance Metrics and Their Measurement

Airbnb tracks five real‑user performance metrics—Time To First Contentful Paint, Time To First Meaningful Paint, First Input Delay, Total Blocking Time, and Cumulative Layout Shift—using a mix of browser APIs and custom polyfills, combines them into a weighted Page Performance Score, and leverages that score to guide trade‑off decisions and detect regressions.
