Progressive Web Applications (PWA) is a comprehensive term describing web applications that implement a base set of browser platform features like HTTPS, Web Manifest and Service Workers. But it bleeds beyond the scope of an application's code because browsers are enabling qualified web applications to offer the same user experiences native application enjoy. This includes prominent home screen placement, push notifications, eliminated browser chrome and app store placement.

Devices are as unique as their users. Detecting the end user’s platform is a fruitless expenditure that often leads to wrong assumptions. Maintaining multiple web applications for different platforms is not cost effective and stressful. Responsive web design is a way to design your applications for devices of all shapes, sizes and resolutions. This session covers a definition, examples and how to execute a proper mobile first responsive design. We will also cover how to use responsive images to ensure your application performs well.
This is an older slide deck I realized I never uploaded. It is a slightly longer deck than the Night at the SPA deck. This features many concepts that are forerunners to the modern progressive web application. There are slides related to web performance best practices, JavaScript architecture, responsive web design, touch and much more.

The document provides a performance test analysis of the hotels.com website. It identifies several opportunities to improve performance, including: reducing the number of HTTP requests by combining files; using a content delivery network to improve response times; compressing components with gzip; avoiding redirects; using cookie-free domains; minifying JavaScript and CSS; not scaling images in HTML; and reducing cookie size. Implementing these recommendations could help speed up page loading.
These slides are from a talk given at the Melbourne WordPress Meetup in November 2018. The topic was WordPress Hosting Basics, although not all of the content is WordPress specific, covering general topics such as DNS, security and performance.
Because of mobility and changes in Google’s search algorithms, a lot of emphasis has been placed on page performance. But what exactly does that mean? Is it page load time? Image optimization? Content strategy and keyword performance? It’s all this and more! In this presentation, we’ll take a no-holds barred, holistic look at what page performance is and how to deal with it. (Hint: It’s all about the user experience!)
Web performance refers to how fast a website works for each user, not how many users it can serve. Slow websites can negatively impact user experience and conversion rates, costing companies money. Most web performance issues come from the front-end rather than the back-end. Areas to focus on for improvement include JavaScript deferral, utilizing browser caching, reducing payload size and number of requests, progressive enhancement, and back-end optimizations like caching, server configuration, and query optimization.
This document discusses how slow loading websites can negatively impact business by reducing conversions and increasing abandonment. It covers: 1. Research showing websites that load faster increase donations, click-through rates, and conversions while decreasing abandonment. 2. How browsers load pages over TCP and HTTP, including how objects like JavaScript, CSS, images are retrieved. 3. Methods for measuring page speed like load time, start render time, and speed index. 4. Techniques for speeding up websites like GZip compression, caching, optimizing images, bundling resources, and minimizing web fonts.
Learn: Why your website MUST be fast to be competitive, how a page is loaded by the browser, how to measure page speed and 5 simple ways to speed up YOUR website .
Web Performance tuning presentation given at http://www.chippewavalleycodecamp.com/ Covers basic http flow, measuring performance, common changes to improve performance now, and several tools and techniques you can use now.
The document discusses website performance and optimization. It notes that nearly half of users expect a site to load within 2 seconds and will abandon a site taking longer than 3 seconds. Common issues causing poor performance are bloated templates, unnecessary code, and too many HTTP requests. Suggested optimizations include minimizing assets, prioritizing visible content, image optimization, caching, compression, and lazy loading. Case studies show significant speed improvements after implementing optimizations. Metrics like Speed Index measure how quickly visible content displays to influence perceived performance.
This document discusses web performance optimization and provides tips to improve performance. It emphasizes that performance is important for user experience, search engine optimization, conversion rates, and costs. It outlines common causes of performance issues like round-trip times, payload sizes, browser rendering delays, and inefficient JavaScript. Specific recommendations are given to optimize images, stylesheets, scripts, and browser rendering through techniques like compression, caching, deferred loading, and efficient coding practices. A variety of tools for measuring and improving performance are also listed.
Web performance optimization techniques include: - Choosing an optimal hosting provider - Combining and minifying files to reduce size - Implementing caching at multiple levels (e.g. frameworks, databases) - Using content delivery networks - Optimizing database and SQL queries The document provides best practices and examples for optimizing websites using techniques like caching plugins, query optimization, indexing databases, and monitoring tools.

The Fetch API is a modern replacement of the XMLHTTPRequest object. It is based on promises and makes making AJAX/API calls easier to manage and code. This slide deck is a quick introduction to the API.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are websites that utilize modern web capabilities to deliver native app-like experiences to users. PWAs are built using common web technologies including HTTPS, service workers, and web app manifests. Service workers allow PWAs to work offline by caching app assets and responding to fetch events. When installed on a user's homescreen, PWAs can load quickly and feel like native applications while retaining the benefits of the web such as being discoverable, installable, and updatable.
