The “caching ecosystem” has evolved over the years – what, where, and how long you cache your web assets are now important considerations for anyone doing business on the internet. Browser cache, html5 application cache, sophisticated reverse proxies like Varnish, and the evolution of CDNs have all elevated caching as the single most effective tool for creating high performing and scalable web applications. Using live demos, we will dive into some advance caching concepts that will enable you to squeeze the most benefits from this caching ecosystem, including: Prefresh Prefetching for sites Prefetching for single page apps Burst caching: caching for an extremely short burst of time, even a few seconds Dynamic page caching Cache invalidation and revalidation However, with caching power comes caching responsibility. If not implemented correctly, these advanced techniques can degrade or even break site functionality. We will conclude with some practical exercises to define the caching strategy for key use cases: E-commerce website Mobile application High traffic events.

This document summarizes a presentation on debugging front-end performance issues. It discusses identifying single points of failure from third-party scripts and social widgets that can block loading. It recommends monitoring for failures, loading scripts asynchronously, and using a "black hole" to simulate outages for testing. Detection and mitigation of blocking third-party code is important to ensure fast page loads.

Nicholas Zakas presented on optimizing the performance of the Yahoo homepage redesign from 2010. The new design added significant functionality but also increased page size and complexity, threatening performance. Areas of focus included reducing time to interactivity, improving Ajax responsiveness, and managing perceived performance. Through techniques like progressive rendering, non-blocking JavaScript loading, and indicating loading states, performance was improved and maintained users' perception of speed. The redesign achieved onload times of ~2.5 seconds, down from ~5 previously, while perceived performance matched the previous version.

Overhauling one of the most visited web sites in the world is a major task, and add on top of it the pressure of keeping performance the same while adding a ton of new features, and you have quite a task. Learn how the Yahoo! homepage team achieved performance parity with the previous version even while adding a ton of new features.

The document summarizes techniques for improving JavaScript performance in web applications. It discusses how JavaScript execution blocks the browser UI thread, leading to unresponsive user experiences if scripts run for too long. It then provides recommendations to limit JavaScript execution times to under 50ms and describes load time techniques like placing scripts at the bottom of the page, combining files, and loading scripts dynamically or deferring their execution to improve page load performance.

This document discusses PageSpeed, a tool for just-in-time performance optimization of web pages. It provides automatic image compression and resizing, CSS and JavaScript minification, inline small files, caching, and deferring JavaScript among other optimizations. While most performance issues are well understood, not all websites are fast due to the tradeoff between speed and ease of maintenance. PageSpeed tools like mod_pagespeed can automate optimizations to improve performance without extra work from developers.

Over the past year we have seen a lot of excitement around Progressive Web Applications. Browser evangelist are selling developers and business owners on their advantages and promising future. But what is the real story? What are the details to proper execution? What do engineers need to know to make their web sites into Progressive Web Applications that not only meet the minimum criteria, but meet the sales hype? Searching the Pokedex offline is fun, what is the real experience like caching a business application? Caching application assets and data can be complex, especially for larger applications. What to cache, how long to cache and how to cache are all valid questions. Often, in an effort to just ship something, we cache nothing. When we don't cache, we disappoint the customer and miss a key promise of progressive web applications.

The document discusses Service Workers, which allow web applications to work offline by caching assets and responding to fetch events. Some key points covered include: - Service Workers can be used to cache assets on install to enable offline usage. They also allow programmable caching and handling of fetch events. - Other capabilities include background processing and push notifications. The standard is maintained by the W3C. - Service Workers have a lifecycle of registration, installation, and activation. They are scoped to URLs and can handle fetch events for navigation and subresource requests.

Ever wonder why the page appears frozen or why you get a dialog saying, "this script is taking too long"? Inside of the browser, JavaScript and the page's UI are very intertwined, which means they can affect each other and, in turn, affect overall page performance. Ensuring the fastest execution time of JavaScript code isn't about geek cred, it's about ensuring that the user experience is as fast and responsive as possible. In a world where an extra second can cost you a visitor, sluggishness due to poor JavaScript code is a big problem. In this talk, you'll learn what's going on inside the browser that can slow JavaScript down and how that can end up creating a "slow page". You'll also learn how to overcome the conspiracy against your code by eliminating performance bottlenecks.

The document discusses optimizing JavaScript performance for Yahoo's homepage. It describes techniques used such as: 1. Loading non-critical JavaScript asynchronously and lazily to improve time to interactivity. 2. Splitting long-running JavaScript tasks into smaller chunks with timers to maintain responsiveness. 3. Using Web Workers to offload CPU-intensive tasks without blocking the UI thread. 4. Caching and preloading resources to reduce roundtrip times for Ajax requests. The techniques helped optimize performance by reducing JavaScript parsing time and improving responsiveness.

Single page applications are a problem for RUM tools because there are no easy ways to tell when a new page component has been requested asynchronously as a result of an intentional user action. Many network requests are back-end service calls initiated periodically by the app – for example, a ping to check if content has been updated, or to check if the current user should still be signed in to their account. Even with requests that are initiated by a user action, not all may fit into the definition of a “page view.” For example, a user typing into a search box that has auto-complete capabilities will often result in network requests, but these requests result in very small amounts of data transfer, happen very frequently, and do not count toward page views. The scene is further complicated by SPA frameworks like Angular, Backbone, and others. In this talk, we’ll learn about some of the tricks used by boomerang to measure the performance of single page applications, going as far as capturing errors and waterfall information across browsers.

This document discusses JavaScript module patterns, which help organize and limit the scope of code in projects.

"Through cooperation between browser vendors and standards bodies in the recent past, numerous standards have been created to enforce stronger client-side control for web applications. As web appsec practitioners continue to shift from mitigating vulnerabilities to implementing proactive controls, each new standard adds another layer of defense for attack patterns previously accepted as risks. With the most basic controls complete, attention is shifting toward mitigating more complex threats. As a result of the drive to control for these threats client-side, standards such as SubResource Integrity (SRI), Content Security Policy (CSP), and HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) carry larger implementation risks than others such as HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). Builders supporting legacy applications actively make trade-offs between implementing the latest standards versus accepting risks simply because of the increased risks newer web standards pose.  In this talk, we'll strictly explore the risks posed by SRI, CSP, and HPKP; demonstrate effective mitigation strategies and compromises which may make these standards more accessible to builders and defenders supporting legacy applications; as well as examine emergent properties of standards such as HPKP to cover previously unforeseen scenarios. As a bonus for the breakers, we'll explore and demonstrate exploitations of the emergent risks in these more volatile standards, to include multiple vulnerabilities uncovered quite literally during our research for this talk (which will hopefully be mitigated by d-day)."

Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution! Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.
