Creating Fast-Feeling Web Apps

In web development, perception is reality. A website that feels fast is fast, regardless of the metrics. In web performance, we focus on four key areas: reducing overall load time, ensuring the site is usable as soon as possible, enhancing smoothness and interactivity, and optimising perceived performance. In this talk, we’ll explore topics in each of these areas, highlighting proven patterns and techniques from large-scale codebases to create lightning-fast user experiences that effectively engage users.

Learn how to make your web applications not just performant but also feel instantaneous. Topics will include reducing layout jank, optimising loading indicators, seeding the data, image loading optimisation, optimistic UI, and much more.
