Stuck on odd question on Gulp course

I'm not sure if this is me or the way it is written, but I'm a bit stuck on one of the questions on this Gulp course.

Q: Fill in the blank

Development is iterative, and the most important thing is for developers is to quickly see their changes. However, in a production environment things like file size, number of files served, and other _________ are incredibly important.

I know that the answer is performance related, but I cant think of the exact keyword, that is needed for the answer. I think its a bit vague and I couldn't see the answer in the video.

Hi Alex, I am also having the same issue – https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/answer-of-fill-in-the-blanks-question

I haven't taken the Gulp Basics yet, but what your saying is true, they should change the questions to reflect the video better. I'll take a look at it.

It's worded a bit strangely isn't it? That was the one question I never managed to answer on this course, it's bugging me now :/

I had to watch the video over very carefully. The answer they were looking for was optimizations. It was a little tricky.

gaahhhhhhh
