This document summarizes a presentation on high performance mobile web. The presentation covers: - Delivering fast mobile experiences by making fewer HTTP requests, using CDNs, browser prefetching, and other techniques. - Measuring web performance using Navigation Timing, Resource Timing, custom timing marks, and tools like WebPagetest and Google Analytics. - Typical mobile network performance statistics like average latency, download speeds, and how these numbers impact page load times.

- 34. Performance rules to keep in mind... (1) JavaScript can block the DOM construction (2) JavaScript can block on CSS (3) Rendering is blocked on CSS... Which means... (1) Get CSS down to the client as fast as you can ○ Unblocks paints, removes potential JS waiting on CSS scenario (2) If you can, use async scripts + avoid doc.write at all costs ○ ○ Faster DOM construction, faster DCL and paint! Do you need scripts in your critical rendering path?
- 35. Less is more Parsing JS can take 1ms per KB (uncompressed)
- 36. Lazy Image Loaders ● Hide images from preloader (good) ● Reduce data use (good) ● Trigger resource loads at arbitrary times (bad) ○ May wake up radio and require 2-3s delay ● Balance bandwidth with experience and battery ○ Maybe load all delayed images after onload
