1. Minimize HTTP Requests
Reduce the number of HTTP requests by combining files, using CSS sprites, and leveraging browser caching.
2. Use Efficient CSS Selectors
Choose efficient CSS selectors to improve rendering performance. Avoid deep nesting and complex selectors.
3. Optimize Images
Compress and resize images to reduce their file size without sacrificing quality. Use modern image formats like WebP for better compression.
4. Enable Compression
Enable Gzip or Brotli compression on your server to reduce the size of the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
5. Use Browser Caching
Implement browser caching to store static resources locally, reducing the load on your server and improving load times.
6. Minify and Combine Files
Minify your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to remove unnecessary characters, and combine them to reduce the number of requests.
7. Prioritize Above-the-Fold Content
Ensure that the critical above-the-fold content is loaded first, and then load other resources asynchronously.
8. Use Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Leverage a CDN to serve static resources from servers closer to the user, reducing latency and improving load times.
9. Optimize Web Fonts
Optimize web fonts by subsetting them and using modern formats like WOFF2 for better compression and performance.
10. Monitor and Analyze Performance
Regularly monitor your website's performance using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse, and make necessary optimizations.
