🚀 Key Strategies for Faster Load Times

  1. Enable Browser Caching
    Use Cache-Control headers to let browsers store static assets locally.

    *Tip: Set `max-age` for resources like images and CSS files.*
  2. Compress Images Efficiently
    Reduce file sizes with tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim.

    *Remember to use WebP format for modern browsers.*
  3. Implement CDN (Content Delivery Network)
    Distribute content globally to reduce latency.

    cdn_setup
    *Check our guide on [CDN Configuration](/en/tutorials/configure-cdn) for details.*
  4. Optimize Code & Scripts
    Minify CSS/JS, defer non-critical scripts, and remove unnecessary code.

    code_optimization
    *Use tools like [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) for bundling.*
  5. Database Optimization
    Optimize queries, use indexing, and reduce redundant data.

    database_optimization
    *Refer to [Database Performance Tips](/en/tutorials/database-performance) for advanced techniques.*
  6. Mobile-Friendly Design
    Prioritize responsive layouts and reduce render-blocking resources.

    *Test with tools like [Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/).*

📈 Performance Metrics to Track

  • Load Time: Aim for under 2 seconds (Lighthouse score ≥ 90).
  • Time to First Byte (TTFB): Keep it below 200ms.
  • Page Size: Target ≤ 1.5MB for optimal speed.
  • Critical Rendering Path: Minimize steps to render above-the-fold content.

🧠 Bonus Tips

  • Use Lazy Loading: Load images and videos only when needed.
  • Enable Gzip/Brotli Compression: Reduce transfer sizes.
  • Optimize Fonts: Use system fonts or load only essential styles.
