Performance Optimization Strategies

Here are some key strategies to improve the performance of your web application:

1. Minimize HTTP Requests

• Reduce the number of HTTP requests by combining files, using CSS sprites, and leveraging browser caching.

2. Use Compression

• Enable compression on your server to reduce the size of the files sent to the browser. Gzip is a popular choice.

• Load the critical above-the-fold content first to improve perceived performance.

4. Optimize Images

• Use modern image formats like WebP and resize images to the appropriate dimensions.

5. Implement Lazy Loading
