🚀 Key Strategies for Faster Load Times
Enable Browser Caching
UseCache-Control
headers to let browsers store static assets locally. *Tip: Set `max-age` for resources like images and CSS files.*Compress Images Efficiently
Reduce file sizes with tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim. *Remember to use WebP format for modern browsers.*Implement CDN (Content Delivery Network)
Distribute content globally to reduce latency. *Check our guide on [CDN Configuration](/en/tutorials/configure-cdn) for details.*Optimize Code & Scripts
Minify CSS/JS, defer non-critical scripts, and remove unnecessary code. *Use tools like [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) for bundling.*Database Optimization
Optimize queries, use indexing, and reduce redundant data. *Refer to [Database Performance Tips](/en/tutorials/database-performance) for advanced techniques.*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.
