Modern Web Performance Optimization Techniques
Web performance isn't just about speed - it's about user experience, accessibility, and business metrics. Through various projects, I've compiled a set of effective optimization strategies that have consistently improved performance metrics.
Key focus areas:
- Bundle optimization
- Code splitting
- Tree shaking
- Dynamic imports
- Asset optimization
- Image formats and lazy loading
- Font loading strategies
- Runtime performance
- Virtual list implementations
- Debouncing and throttling
- Web Workers for heavy computations
The most impactful changes often come from understanding your application's specific bottlenecks through proper profiling and measurement. Tools like Lighthouse and WebPageTest are invaluable for identifying optimization opportunities.
