Magento 2 Front-end performance tips & tricks - Nomadmage September 2017
- 1. nomadmage.com Magento 2 Front-end performance tips & tricks Definitely not a talk about replacing front-end stack Bartek Igielski Lead Front-end Developer at Snowdog @igloczek
- 3. nomadmage.com How to measure performance? Lighthouse A tower or other structure tool containing a beacon light to warn or guide ships at sea developers. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse
- 5. nomadmage.com How it works? • Run on clean Chrome instance • Emulate Nexus 5X size • CPU throttling is enabled to emulate smartphone performance • Network is throttled to slow 3G
- 6. nomadmage.com 1. "Audits" panel in Chrome Developer Tools But… Currently it’s outdated (2.0.0 vs 2.4.0) so test results are not always accurate. 2. Chrome extension - possibly easiest way 3. Node CLI - most powerful way How to use Lighthouse?
- 8. nomadmage.com Which config perform best? Minification? Merging? Bundling?
- 9. nomadmage.com Always enable minification and merging It saves data (better compression) and reduce number of requests
- 10. nomadmage.com To bundle or not to bundle Not bundle OnOff
- 11. nomadmage.com What’s the starting point? Magento 2.1.8 + Sample data + Luma theme Minification and merging enabled, bundling off HTTPS + HTTP/2 + GZIP

- 14. nomadmage.com First step - create theme { "name": „snowdog/theme-frontend-performance", "require": { "snowdog/frontools": "*", "snowdog/theme-blank-sass": "*" }, "type": "magento2-theme", "autoload": { "files": [ "registration.php" ] } } https://github.com/SnowdogApps/magento2-theme-performance
- 15. nomadmage.com Annihilate render blocking resources Let’s make everything asynchronous!
- 16. nomadmage.com Asynchronous stylesheets Because asynchronous JS isn’t enough You can save here 800-1000 ms
- 17. nomadmage.com rel=„preload" <link href="<?= $this->assetRepo->getUrl('css/styles.css') ?>" rel="preload" as="style" onload="this.rel='stylesheet'" /> Magento_Theme/templates/root.phtml Magento_Theme/layout/default_head_blocks.xml <remove src="css/styles.css" /> <script src="Magento_Theme::js/lib/cssrelpreload.js" async="true" />
- 18. nomadmage.com Inline CSS To ensure that browsers start rendering your page as quickly as possible, it’s become a common practice to collect all of the CSS required to start rendering the first visible portion of the page (known as “critical CSS” or “above-the-fold CSS”) and add it inline in the <head> of the page, thus reducing roundtrips. You can force your page to render meaningful content within 1.5s
- 19. nomadmage.com Generate Critical CSS and inline it Best way, but not easy with M2 styles codebase Add loader to hide unsettled content Easiest way, but without any positive performance impact Inline CSS
- 20. nomadmage.com body:before, body:after { content: ''; position: fixed; top: 0; z-index: 1000; width: 100%; height: 100%; } body:before { background: #f6f7f9; } body:after { background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #f6f7f9 0%, #e9ebee 20%, #f6f7f9 40%, #f6f7f9 100%); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 200vw; } @keyframes placeHolderShimmer{ 0%{ background-position: -100% 0 } 100%{ background-position: 200% 0 } } body.loaded:before, body.loaded:after { content: none; }
- 21. nomadmage.com <link href="<?= $this->assetRepo->getUrl('css/styles.css') ?>" rel="preload" as="style" onload="this.rel='stylesheet'; document.body.className += ' loaded'" />
- 22. nomadmage.com Images lazy-loading To load images when they are really necessary You can save here 500-1500+ ms - depends on images overall weight
- 23. nomadmage.com lazysizes.js https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes <script src="Magento_Theme::js/lib/lazysizes.js" async="true" /> Magento_Theme/layout/default_head_blocks.xml
- 24. nomadmage.com <img class="lazyload" data-src="<?= $block->getLogoSrc() ?>" > <img src="<?= $block->getLogoSrc() ?>">
- 25. nomadmage.com Low Quality Image Placeholders 1. Initially load the page with low quality images 2. Once the page loaded (e.g. in the onload event), replace them with the full quality images Possible improvements to lazy-loading model https://www.guypo.com/introducing-lqip-low-quality-image-placeholders/
- 26. nomadmage.com Avoid synchronous JS Check 3rd party extensions, many of them ignore existence of Require JS
- 27. nomadmage.com Prefetch <link href="<?= $this->assetRepo->getUrl('jquery.js') ?>” as=„script" rel=„prefetch" /> <link href="<?= $this->assetRepo->getUrl('jquery/jquery-ui.js') ?>” as=„script" rel=„prefetch” /> <link href="<?= $this->assetRepo->getUrl('knockoutjs/knockout.js') ?>” as=„script" rel=„prefetch" /> <link href="<?= $this->assetRepo->getUrl('underscore.js') ?>” as=„script" rel=„prefetch" /> You can save here 50-300 ms
- 29. nomadmage.com Merge stylesheets Since asynchronous approach is not supported by the core, so we have to care about merging on our end You can save here 50-300 ms
- 30. nomadmage.com Optimize images Compression, downsize, lower quality, WebP You can save here… a lot! Store maintainers tends to load heavy images.
- 31. nomadmage.com Use responsive images Load images conditionally depends on user device screen size You can save here a lot - up to 50-70% reduce
- 32. nomadmage.com Reduce number of fonts Font is just an enchantment, not a content. You can use system fonts instead.
- 33. nomadmage.com Load web fonts in WOFF2 format But if really have to load fonts…
- 35. nomadmage.com Do not duplicate JS libraries Check 3rd party extensions, they like to load lots of stuff, just to be sure that it will work.
- 36. nomadmage.com Results First meaningful paint 1,830 ms faster First interactive 2,190 ms faster Consistently interactive 1,970 ms faster

- 38. nomadmage.com https://github.com/antonkril/magento-rjs-config Make JS bundling great again!
- 39. nomadmage.com Entry point Merging + minification enabled Bundling off Performance index: 53
- 40. nomadmage.com Anton’s idea 1. Manually create a config file for R.js 2.Create a bundle 3.Load bundle using layout instructions
- 41. nomadmage.com R.js bundling - sync Merging + minification enabled Custom R.js bundling Bundle added via layout and loaded synchronously Performance index: 56
- 42. nomadmage.com Improved Anton’s idea 1. Manually create a config file for R.js 2.Create a bundle 3.Extend Require.js config to define a bundle and it’s content 4.Bundle will be loaded asynchronously, automatically via Require.js
- 43. nomadmage.com R.js bundling - async Merging + minification enabled Custom R.js bundling Bundle defined in RequireJS config and loaded asynchronously Performance index: 68
- 44. nomadmage.com
- 45. nomadmage.com More possibilities… 1. Parse rendered page, take all script tags and move to the end of the body. This will let us to remove blocking JS from the head and make page to render way faster than now. 2. Use HTTP/2 Push to load heavies files like: jQuery UI lib, jQuery lib, stylesheets etc. (for now Apache only) 3. Use Brotli or Zopfli compression format (lossless compression algorithms like a Gzip) 4. Service workers
