Web Development
Web performance optimization without theater
Core Web Vitals, rendering costs, images, caching, and the fixes that users actually feel.
01
Speed should be felt, not only scored
Performance work should improve the actual user journey: the page appears quickly, responds quickly, and avoids layout surprises.
02
Common wins
The most useful improvements are often straightforward: image sizing, route-level code splitting, less client JavaScript, better caching, and cleaner font loading.
- Optimize media.
- Reduce browser JavaScript.
- Measure on real devices.
03
Keep performance in the release loop
Performance should be checked before launch and after major content, campaign, or integration changes.
