This document outlines techniques for improving web application performance, including minimizing bundles, adding defer attributes to scripts, prefetching resources, and moving non-critical styles. It recommends measuring performance with tools like Lighthouse and pwmetrics. An example is given of analyzing the Babel site timeline and improving load times by 2x by deferring a script and removing unnecessary resources for mobile. Overall, it advocates building mobile-first with real device testing, identifying bottlenecks, and applying modern techniques.
