Optimize performance and not die trying

1) The document discusses optimizing website performance by measuring performance through tools like WebPageTest and PageSpeed Insights, and then optimizing by reducing bytes, critical resources, and the critical rendering path. 2) Some techniques include minifying assets, compressing images, concatenating files, inline critical CSS, and delaying JavaScript execution with async. 3) The goal is to have a clear performance goal, measure performance early and often, and then optimize the total bytes, critical resources, and number of roundtrips needed to render a page.

- 2. MotivationMotivation 3 pillars in user experience Design Usability Performance 80% - 90% load time comes from the front end Additionally... Better user conversion Affects Google search result rankings
- 3. ChallengeChallenge Initial goal for this talk: teach everything required to build fast sites 12 hour talk? Very complex (a.k.a boring) This group is too diverse for a technical talk New goal Drill into the world of web performance Go over the main optimization techniques If I was successful... Continue learning by enrolling in Google's web performance course (link at the end)

- 10. OptimizeOptimize Theory The CRP is the sequence of steps followed by the browser in order to render a page 1. Parse the HTML and build the DOM 2. Parse the CSS and build the CSSOM 3. Build the Render Tree 4. Position elements on the screen (Layout) 5. Paint the screen
- 11. OptimizeOptimize Theory The CRP has 3 main components which can be optimized 1. Total amount of bytes to be downloaded 2. Amount of critical resources (HTML, CSS y blocking JS) 3. Amount of roundtrips needed in order to gather critical resources
- 12. OptimizeOptimize Example Total KB: 11 Critical resources: 3 CRP length: 2
- 13. OptimizeOptimize Reduce total amount of bytes Minify, compress and cache HTML CSS JavaScript Remove unused styles Compress images Example: compressor.io Compress and unify fonts unused-css.com
- 14. OptimizeOptimize Reduce amount of critical resources Concatenate JS and CSS files Use media queries on <link> tags to unblock rendering Write CSS directly on HTML (inline) Leaving everything inline can be harmful Write JS directly on HTML (inline) Still blocks rendering when executed if not marked as async
- 15. OptimizeOptimize Shorten the Critical Rendering Path (CRP) Delay JavaScript execution Add an async attribute to <script> tags so that they don't block rendering Code optimizations
