SET A PERFORMANCE BUDGET A BASELINE FOR PAGE SIZE AND
NUMBER OF REQUESTS More Info: http://timkadlec.com/2013/01/setting-a-performance-budget/
RESPONSIVE IMAGES npm install grunt-responsive-images npm install gulp-responsive Serve images
that fit the size of the users’ device appropriately. Otherwise we’re just sending wasted pixels
Workflow task resizes image Use srcset and picture element
SRCSET VS PICTURE
SIZE/DPI
<img src="small.jpg" srcset="large.jpg 1024w, medium.jpg 640w, small.jpg 320w" sizes="(min-width: 640px)
90vw, 100vw" alt="My lovely horse"> USE IMG WITH SRCSET & SIZES

1x, small-hd.jpg 2x"> <img src="fallback.jpg" alt="My lovely horse"> </picture> USE PICTURE
RESPONSIVE IMAGES More Info: https://dev.opera.com/articles/responsive-images/ SRCSET PICTURE Resize Yes No
Pixel Density (e.g. Retina) Yes No Art Direction Changing No Yes MIME Type (e.g. WebP) No Yes
Source: http://caniuse.com/ SRCSET PICTURE
LACKING BROWSER SUPPORT? https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill USE A POLYFILL!
COMPRESS IMAGES npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin npm install gulp-imagemin Compress images
so they take less time to download
FILE SIZE SAVINGS BEFORE AFTER 273KB 240KB
UNUSED CSS npm install grunt-uncss npm install gulp-uncss No need
to include unused CSS on our pages.
MINIFY, UGLIFY Image Credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/abrinsky/14836518223
MINIFY, UGLIFY & CONCATENATE npm install grunt-usemin npm install gulp-usemin
Usemin runs a number of performance helper tasks such as uglify, cssmin and concatenate automatically.
<!-- build:css /assets/css/main.min.css --> <link href="/assets/css/vendors/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <link href="/assets/css/main.css"
rel="stylesheet" /> <!-- endbuild --> HTML SETUP
<!-- build:js /assets/js/main.min.js --> <script src="/assets/js/vendors/jquery.js"></script> <script src="/assets/js/vendors/picturefill.js"></ script> <script
src="/assets/js/main.js"></script> <!-- endbuild --> HTML SETUP
usemin: { html: '**/*.html', css: PATHS.DEST + PATHS.CSS + '**/*.css',
js: PATHS.DEST + PATHS.JS + '**/*.js' }, useminPrepare: { html: 'src/index.html', options: { root: 'src' } } EXAMPLE SETUP
grunt.registerTask('usemin', ['useminPrepare', 'concat', 'cssmin', 'uglify', 'filerev', 'usemin', 'htmlmin']); TASK ORDER
COMPRESS FILES npm install grunt-contrib-compress npm install gulp-gzip GZIP our
HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
LAZY LOADING
REQUESTS fewer
SPRITE IMAGES npm install grunt-spritesmith npm install gulp.spritesmith Combine smaller
images in to one sprite file, and generate CSS for the sprite
None
CRITICAL CSS npm install grunt-penthouse npm install gulp-critical-css Inline critical
CSS for above-the-fold content in to the first 14kb.
BLOCKING SCRIPTS <SCRIPT> AT BOTTOM OF PAGE <SCRIPT ASYNC> <SCRIPT
DEFER>* no *IE 10+
LATENCY CDN SOME DOMAIN SHARDING CONCATENATION reduce
CONNECTION SPEED CACHE
CACHE FILES npm install grunt-filerev npm install gulp-filerev Use filerev
to set your workflow to assign file revision numbers
main.css FILEREV SETS A FILENAME BASED ON THE FILE CONTENTS
main.a1b2c3.css
HEAVILY CACHE JAVASCRIPT, CSS AND IMAGES
CHANGES TO THE FILE WILL CREATE A NEW FILENAME main.css
main.d4e5f6.css
SUMMARY OF TASKS • Smaller Page Size Responsive Images, Image
Optimisation, Unused CSS, Minify and Uglify • Fewer Requests Concatenate, Sprite Images, Critical CSS • Connection Speed Cache Files
