Workshop summary
Web performance is a broad and complex topic, and one of the most difficult tasks is simply working out where to start! On sites with potentially thousands of different pages, how do you know which ones to work on first?
In this highly practical workshop, you learn how to use a variety of different services to find and fix existing site-speed issues that are impacting real users. By eliminating the guesswork, you’ll be well-positioned to make meaningful changes from the very beginning.
Once you and Harry have gathered a list of key URLs, you’ll use a combination of powerful tools to begin auditing and fixing the most pressing, user-facing issues. Not only will you learn everything (and more!) about web performance, but you’ll also put it into practice immediately.
In addition to solving your current problems, you will also take a look at the future and the different APIs and features you can already start using today to prepare for tomorrow. You’ll learn opportunistic upgrades and ahead-of-the-curve optimisations to help your website stay faster for longer.
Finally, you’ll round out the day learning how to monitor these improvements. Harry will go through different methods and approaches for tracking site speed over time — from off-the-shelf metrics, such as Core Web Vitals, to custom metrics designed specifically for your website.
What will attendees learn?
Expect to walk away with fundamental theory, fascinating trivia, real-life case studies, and practical tooling and workflows in this all-encompassing, intensive masterclass.
