Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds. In this configuration, the AMI and boot is paravirt (PV), the kernel is making hypercalls instead of privileged instructions, and the system is using paravirt network and storage drivers. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. Impressive!

Yet, we wanted to put together our list of the top web performance books for anyone who cares about speed of the web and would like to explore the timeline of web performance engineering milestones over nearly two decades through the lens of published books. High Performance Browser Networking. Site speed & SEO go hand in hand.

When I first stumbled on the idea of skeleton screens, thanks to Luke Wroblewski talking about them back in 2013 , I latched onto them pretty quickly. Given the constraints the app faced with the network and web view performance at the time, they were a bit limited on what they could do from a technical perspective.

Networking, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 OCSP stapling, EV/DV certificates, packaging, IPv6, QUIC, HTTP/3. You need a business stakeholder buy-in, and to get it, you need to establish a case study, or a proof of concept using the Performance API on how speed benefits metrics and Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) they care about.

Even if you render components on the server and hydrate them on the client, it still churns because component hydration is computationally expensive. Server rendering is also cool—even if that’s just how we say “send HTML over the network” these days. A stateful Preact component, also server-rendered and hydrated on the client.

Is it worth exploring tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, server push, clients hints, HTTP/2, service workers and — oh my — edge workers? Is it expensive JavaScript, slow web font delivery, heavy images, or sluggish rendering? Large preview ).

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

De-duplication can prevent multiple copies on disk, but we're out of luck on reducing network costs. This reconfirms observations from the HTTP Archive , published by Steve Souders in 2013. That is unlikely given the need for SRI annotations or the unbecoming practice of speeding up high-traffic sites, but not others.

Thus, the entire website development methodology benefits from the boosted speed and saves times by using these top front end frameworks. PWAs can save the time and efforts required to develop an entire native application for multiple platforms from scratch, hence speeding up the time to market and enhancing audience reach.
