An Anthropic-reported web-app task evaluates performance improvements alongside behavior preservation.

## What the source shows

Anthropic reports success in 39 of 40 attempts when asking Opus 5.5 to reduce load times across a web app. The launch account also discusses whether changes preserve the application’s behavior.

## What to inspect

The public headline does not disclose a reusable performance baseline for your site. A fair local evaluation needs a fixed device profile, network conditions, routes and warm-versus-cold cache policy. A faster response is not useful if a workflow breaks.

## A useful way to try this

Pick three representative routes and measure them before editing. Keep functional checks for the main user actions, then compare repeated runs after each change. Record median timings and outliers, and inspect whether apparent gains come from removing useful content.

## Evidence and limitations

This is a vendor-published report, not an AI IDE List benchmark. The underlying environment and complete execution transcript are not available in this listing. The evidence panel above records the source type, settings and prompt attribution. AI IDE List has not independently reproduced this result.
