-
Minification and compression of resources:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript: Removing unnecessary spaces, comments, line breaks, shortening variable names.
- Images: Format optimization (WebP, AVIF), lossless compression, using responsive images.
-
Using CDN (Content Delivery Network): Distributing static resources from servers closest to the user reduces latency.
-
Browser caching: Setting appropriate HTTP headers (
Cache-Control,Expires) for caching static resources on the client side. -
Lazy Loading: Deferred loading of images, videos, and other heavy resources until they appear in the user's visible area.
-
Asynchronous and deferred loading of JavaScript and CSS: Using
asyncanddeferattributes to prevent scripts from blocking, loading CSS outside the critical rendering path. -
Critical CSS optimization: Embedding a minimal set of CSS for rendering the first screen of the page directly into the HTML
<head>, with the rest of the CSS loaded asynchronously. -
Reducing HTTP requests:
- Combining CSS and JavaScript files.
- Using sprites for small images.
-
Font optimization:
- Using WOFF2 format.
- Applying
font-display. - Preloading critical fonts.
-
Applying Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Static Site Generation (SSG): Rendering part or all of the page on the server before sending to the client, improving first contentful paint and SEO.
-
Image optimization:
- Proper image sizes for different devices.
- Using
<picture>andsrcset. - Lossy compression.
-
Using Resource Hints (preconnect, prefetch, preload): Browser hints about resources that might be needed soon.
<!-- Connecting to a domain before requesting a resource --> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://example.com"> <!-- Preloading a resource --> <link rel="preload" href="/fonts/font.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin> <!-- Prefetching a resource --> <link rel="prefetch" href="/next-page.html"> -
DOM optimization: Minimizing DOM tree depth, avoiding costly DOM read/write operations in loops.
-
Rendering optimization (Layout, Paint, Composite): Avoiding forced style recalculations and reflows, using CSS properties that do not trigger repainting of the entire page (e.g.,
transform,opacityinstead oftop,left). -
Using Web Workers: Offloading resource-intensive computations to separate threads to prevent blocking the main UI thread.
-
Progressive loading: Displaying content as it loads.
