    slow when we add “clever” cruft

  14. None
  15. None
  16. None
  17. None
  18. None

  19. Speed Index: 1613 In the fastest ~10% of all websites

  20. Optimisation #1 A truthful browser spinner

  21. https://medium.com/@kellycatchpole/10-best-dog-breeds-for-your- family-22ea2cdde78d Browser says page has finished loading LIES!!!!

  22. Don’t make the browser spinner lie. When the page says

    I want…

  39. • A living styleguide! • Sass! • Hot reloading! •

    Reusable components!

  40. The tooling: • React (no client side!) • Webpack +

    static-site-generator-webpack-plugin • Sass • CSS Modules

  41. React is a better back-end templating language than your favourite

    back-end templating language.
  42. None
  43. None

  44. Free?

  45. GitHub Pages + CloudFlare =

  46. GitHub Pages has pretty crappy caching settings…

  47. None

  48. But if you stick CloudFlare in front of it…

  49. Easy cache header setting!

  50. Free SSL! (well, “flexible SSL”)
