Sergey will review latest front-end performance trends and show how to use performance analysis and optimization tools to speed up web sites. Bring your web site too and follow along to analyze it.

As part of this workshop we will:

• Look at the ways to measure performance of the web pages and the difference between RUM (Real User Measurement) and Synthetic analysis. We’ll also discuss which metrics can be used and their pros & cons.
• Analyze your site using WebPageTest.org public front-end performance analysis tool and discuss common issues
• We will look at what affects performance of the pages and practice creating different versions of the page to see how it affects performance.
• Define a process for building fast web pages from product and design all the way to development using the concept of progressive enhancement
• Review commonly slow components (anti-patterns) of web pages (such as carousels, video players, ads) and look at the methods of improving them.

This is a hands on session, we are modeling it after Meet4SPEED sessions ran at Web Performance meetups around the world so don’t forget your laptop.
