Hey there!

The speed of your website or app matters.

It matters because it:

So what can you do to build faster web apps?

Here are three talks to help:

How Fast Is It?

Not too long ago, improving web site performance was a relatively straightforward task. But as the complexity of what we build has increased significantly, the number and size of the assets we deliver has exploded, and our job in ensuring highly performant sites and applications is increasingly complex. The creator of WebPageTest, Patrick Meenan will explore different ways to detect and analyze performance issues.

The Metric System: Making Correct Performance Measurements

In the preeminent debugging world, FireBug was created to observe what was happening on a page, pre and post resource load. A decade later, the multitude of metrics available has allowed for granular measurements, but has also clearly created confusion. In this talk we’ll learn about metrics like FCP, FMP, TTFB and Speed Index to name a few. More importantly, we’ll see how to interpret them, and when to use them to improve user experience.

Compression: Slashing the Bytes for Faster Web Apps

We all know that compression is essential for delivering fast web apps. But how does it work? Is it just ✨magic✨?

We'll take a look at how compression shaves bytes off your downloads under the hood, and at what impact this can make on your page load time. Then we'll see how we can use JavaScript to compress your uploads too, turbo charging your SPA in poor network conditions

Happy Learning!
