Website speed and resource consumption have long since ceased to be niche topics: from sales, conversion rates, and SEO rankings to usability, accessibility, and your own productivity, performance affects all areas of web development.
Nowadays, there are a lot of helpful methodologies and tools for analyzing and improving the performance of web applications. However, since it is often difficult to get started, we provide you with guidance and practical exercises to optimize the performance of your web applications in everyday use.
In this workshop, we discuss why web performance is so important and why it is not purely a technical challenge, but a task for the entire team. We will also look at approaches to measuring and improving performance, always with a critical eye on the significance and use of metrics.
With our new toolbox, we will then take a look at the loading and rendering process of web browsers. Where do problems usually occur and how can we address them?
