Project timeline “Hey, is the website fast?” “ohhhh fuck”
Project timeline “Let’s make this really great!” When performance should
happen

We must stop optimising for $3000 computers with fast connections.
We must feel what our customers are feeling, train ourselves
how to diagnose common performance issues then fix them.
As an industry we need to stop putting our desires
and needs in front of the people we say we’re building for.
The Critical Request
A critical request is one that contains an asset that
is essential to the content within the user’s viewport.
None
Hey read this it’s really interesting
None
Hey read this it’s really interesting
Hey read this it’s really interesting
Hey read this it’s really interesting
Making people wait for text to render The Web in
2017:
None
The fold is the user’s viewport. Yes, it’s real.
None
When did the fonts load?
Fonts load when: • The stylesheet targets an element with
a font declaration • The stylesheet has a corresponding @font-face declaration • Fonts are not requested until there is text to render
None
<link rel=“preload" href=“font.woff" as=“font” crossorigin /> Preload Critical, essential resources.
HTML request Fonts! CSS
3-5 seconds delay caused by webfonts 68% of sites use
web fonts Impact
✅ Use <link rel=“preload” /> ✅ Use font-display: swap; ✅
Have fallbacks that look similar ✅ Use woff2, woff where possible Webfont performance checklist
Looking beyond delivery
Delivery Parse Runtime + + Asset lifetime
We ignore the fact that we’re often blocking the main
thread. This matters.

Webpack Code splitting import(/* webpackChunkName: “MyComponent" */ ‘./MyComponent’) Define split
points using Dynamic Imports Webpack “magic comment”
Webpack Code splitting new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin() Split dependencies & cache those
forever.
✅ Use code splitting ✅ Serve only what people need
✅ Test using ‘Real world’ conditions ✅ Monitor Parse & Compile time JS Runtime checklist
Improve
The metrics that we’re using to talk about performance tell
us nothing about user experience.
onLoad Speed Index onDomContentLoaded Metrics that don’t even
First Paint First Meaningful Paint Visual Complete Time to Interactive
Good metrics
User navigates First Paint Visually Complete First Contentful Paint First
Meaningful Paint
Human-centric metrics
Lighthouse npm install -g lighthouse
Run Lighthouse in Chrome
User navigates First Paint Visually Complete Short Javascript task Long
Javascript task (>50ms) 5 seconds without long tasks Calculating Time to Interactive
Time to Interactive in less than 5 seconds (on every
device)
“Time to first tweet”
Performance monitoring checklist ✅ Use metrics that describe user-experience ✅
Test using ‘Real world’ conditions ✅ Monitor continuously
Don’t try to keep people on your site for as
long as possible.
Help people achieve their goals and move on with their
lives.
Service worker cache PRPL Pattern Code splitting Modern image formats
HTTP/2 Reducing JS startup time with Prepack, Rollup, etc Use a CDN! Use SVG Set Cache headers
