104 RAIL and Web Performance

from The Web Platform Podcast

Paul Lewis (@aerotwist) talks with us about how we can better optimize web page speeds as well as how to avoid glaring light on videos caused by bald headed smoothness...or something to that degree. With the rise of web traffic on mobile devices, developers have had to rethink web performance over the past decade. Bandwidth & Latency have become much larger challenges than ever thought possible. The old ways to optimize performance on web pages just don't work. The high level RAIL (Responsive, Animated, Idle, Load) & the lower level PRPL (Push, Render, Precache, Lazy Load) patterns are but many strategies Google is using to enable developers to deliver better User Experiences in an ever evolving internet, Resources RAIL - https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/profile/evaluate-performance/rail?hl=en PRPL - https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/toolbox/server Polymer Shop - https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/toolbox/case-study Speed Gun - http://speedgun.io/ Site Speed - https://www.sitespeed.io/ Page Speed Tools - https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/ Page Speed Insights -https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ Mobile Friendly Test - https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ Lighthouse - https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse Web Page Test - https://www.webpagetest.org/ AMP - https://www.ampproject.org/ CSS Triggers - https://csstriggers.com/ New Relic article on HTTP/2 - https://blog.newrelic.com/2016/02/09/http2-best-practices-web-performance/ New Relic -https://newrelic.com/ Ilya Grigorik's book on High Performance Browser Networking - https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&q=High+Performance+Browser+Networking&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAOPgE-LSz9U3iDfOqoo3VYKys5PzcrSkspOt9JPy87P1E0tLMvKLrEDsYoX8vJxKAHpHdSg2AAAA Free Udacity Courses Paul Lewis on Browser Rendering Optimization - https://www.udacity.com/course/browser-rendering-optimization--ud860 Ilya Grigorik on Web Site Performance Optimization - https://www.udacity.com/course/website-performance-optimization--ud884
