0, nada, niente, null, void, undefined able to run 10 kilometers able to get to the supermarket across the corner 20% body fat this is getting too intimate (and embarrassing) 74kg
Faster than a speeding bullet?
Our websites are too heavy!!

Users expect fast sites. After 3 seconds of load time,
40% will abandon your site https://speakerdeck.com/lara/designing-for-performance
Etsy found out that: + 160kb on a page +
12% bounce rate https://speakerdeck.com/lara/designing-for-performance
Also: - 1 redirect on a page + 12% click-through
rate https://speakerdeck.com/lara/designing-for-performance
Performance matters!
But what should we be aiming for?
We need good, reliable and replicable key metrics
1 Pageweight
“Weight” is an easy one: The bigger your site is,
the more it has to transfer over the wire.
So the goal is: Reduce weight!

path/to/image/1000.jpg 1000w," sizes="(min-width: 992px) 60vw, 80vw" >
How to keep track?

This menu at the top holds 94 product images The
requests alone stall the browser for roughly 14 sec
But it just has to be available when JavaScript is
on … so we load it asynchronously in our JavaScript at the bottom. This reduces time to glass to 1.3s
2 Page Speed Score
“Page Speed Score” tells you if you’ve followed a series
of best practices for every component of your website
None
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights
Eliminate render-blocking JS and CSS Optimize images Minify HTML, CSS,
JavaScript
Reduce server response time Leverage browser caching Avoid landing page
redirects Enable compression

What the …?
Solution: Page Speed Score is a good indicator on your
dev style … but we need more!
3 Speed Index
The Speed Index is the average time at which visible
parts of the page are displayed. It is expressed in milliseconds and dependent on size of the view port.
∫ 1 - visuallycomplete/100 0 end
What does this mean?
Visually complete (%) 0 25 50 75 100 Time in
Seconds 0s 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s
Visually complete (%) 0 25 50 75 100 Time in
Seconds 0s 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s
Visually complete (%) 0 25 50 75 100 Time in
Seconds 0s 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s
Every page is fully loaded in 10 seconds 93% linear
after 1 second 100% linear after 10 seconds 20% linear after 9 seconds 7% linear after 9 seconds 80% linear after 1 second 881 5000 8610
The lower Speed Index: The lower the better

Critical CSS
None
This is where the content is loaded So let’s show
the user everything we’ve got so far
None
CSS is blocking. That means: No content shown until the
whole CSS is loaded
Open up your website at the desired viewport. Look at
the above the fold content.
Open a headless browser to find the CSS for that
content.
npm install --save-dev critical
critical.generate({ src: 'index.html', dest: 'styles/main.css', width: 1300, height: 900 });
critical.generate({ src: 'index.html', dest: 'styles/main.css', width: 1300, height: 900 });
critical.generate({ src: 'index.html', dest: 'styles/main.css', width: 1300, height: 900 });
http://jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <style id=“critical”> </style> </head>
<script id=“load-main-css"> var ms=document.createElement(“link"); ms.rel=“stylesheet"; ms.href=“http://path/to/main.min.css”; document.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0].appendChild(ms); </script>
None
None
One more optimisation
None
What happened?
On loading a new page… why should we (even if
it’s cached) check everything again and again?
Just load the things we need and tell the browser
where we are without loading all the burden
As an enhancement!
if(window.history && history.pushState) { … }
$('body').on('click', '#content a:not([href*=#]):not([href^=http])', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); retrieveContent(this.href); });
var retrieveContent = function(loc) { $.get(loc) .done(function(data) { updateContent(data, loc);
}) .fail(function(err) { window.location.href = loc; }); };
var updateContent = function(data, url) { var mkup = $(data);
url = url.toString(); history.pushState({ url: url, title: title }, mkup.filter('title'), url); $('#content').html(mkup.filter('#content').html()) .remove(); $('title').text(title); };
Speed Index equals regular Speed Index of the site without
JS and CSS
Take it even further…
Do contents change during the period of a session?
var updateContent = function(data, url) { var mkup = $(data);
url = url.toString(); history.pushState({ url: url, title: title }, mkup.filter('title'), url); $('#content').html(mkup.filter('#content').html()) .remove(); $(‘title').text(title); sessionStorage.setItem(url, data); };
var retrieveContent = function(loc) { if(sessionStorage.key(loc)) { updateContent(sessionStorage.getItem(loc), loc); }
else { $.get(loc) .done(function(data) { updateContent(data, loc); }) } };
Speed Index? Probably 0
+ What’s more?
