ReactFoo Delhi

ReactFoo Delhi

On React, alternatives to React, ReactNative and front-end engineering

##About the event

After successful editions in Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Mumbai, ReactFoo travels to Delhi. The Delhi edition will focus on the following topics:

  1. Performance and React.
  2. Performance, in general.
  3. Architecture with React.
  4. Alternatives to React – such as Angular, Vue and other frameworks – why these worked / did not work for your use-case.
  5. Mobile engineering with ReactNative or alternatives.

ReactFoo Delhi is an event for JavaScript, React and front-end engineers. All speakers must have direct experience working with performance, React, React Native or alternatives to these.

Format

We invite developers and architects from large and small organizations to share their stories and insights with the community. You can either propose:

  1. Full length talks of 40 mins duration.
  2. Short talks of 20 mins duration.
  3. Birds Of Feather (BOF) sessions.
  4. Hands-on workshops for 3-6 hour duration.

Page Loading Performance Strategies from the Field

Submitted Jun 30, 2018

Performance on the web isn’t a simple switch that can be flipped on but a vast, multi-layered subject. Page loading speed is one of the layers that has received a fair bit of attention recently thanks to tools like PageSpeed Insights and WebPageTest. While these profilers serve as great checklists to measure our sites against, their recommendations can often be difficult to incorporate or grasp fully.

This talk will examine modern page loading best practises and attempt to demystify them. For each performance strategy, I will break down the why and how. We will discuss the principles on which these loading strategies are based, and dive into ways to implement the strategies with real-life examples.

The ideas and experiences presented in this talk are based on my experience building and maintaining CMS-based websites for clients both large and small. The learnings and performance gains should be applicable to all websites, independent of the technology stack.

Outline

Page loading strategies that I will demonstrate include:

  • Bundling
  • Minification
  • Automation
  • Image optimisation
  • Responsive images
  • Critical resources
  • Micro-caching
  • Web font loading
  • Link pre-fetch
  • Unused CSS
  • CDN edge cache

Princinples behind these strategies that we will discuss:

  • Network latency
  • Network requests
  • Bandwidth
  • Client hardware
  • Render blocking
  • Perceived speed
  • Reduce developer effort
