#gatsbyconf
Making a slow website fast is hard
Everything
impacts perf
Hard to know
what changes
matter for you
Get fast,
stay fast
#gatsbyconf
 First, the performance improvements you make
 Second, the process you have to quantify,
maintain, and extend those improvements
Perf: improvements and process
#gatsbyconf
[perf improvements without a perf
process]
#gatsbyconf
Part 0: What is Fast?
#gatsbyconf
Core Web Vitals
(loading) (interactivity) (layout shift)
#gatsbyconf
Part 1: Stay Fast
Creating a performance
process for your Gatsby site
#gatsbyconf
1. Choose a primary testing tool
Lighthouse (Google) WebPageTest
#gatsbyconf
Gatsby Cloud Third-party services
2. Per-commit, per-PR perf monitoring
#gatsbyconf
3. Quantify each change & watch the #s
Before After
#gatsbyconf
Part 2: Get Fast
Implementing Performance Improvements
#gatsbyconf
All fast websites are alike.
All slow websites are slow in
different ways.
- Leo Tolstoy Kyle Mathews
#gatsbyconf
All performance work is telling
your users browser how to do
less work
#gatsbyconf
1. Fetch and parse third party scripts.
2. Fetch and parse your main JavaScript bundle.
3. Fetch, load and paint images and media
4. Load CSS & fonts and paint the screen
5. Make calls over the network to do (1)-(4)
Types of work the browser does
(post-HTML load)
#gatsbyconf
1. Address third-party script impact
2. Reduce JavaScript bundle size
3. Optimize image and media delivery
4. Optimize styling and font files
5. Resource requests & CDN configuration
Types of improvements you can make
#gatsbyconf
For each browser work type:
1. Triage: triage the overall impact caused by this type of
browser work to decide your level of effort
2. Isolate: Identify & isolate key lines of code impacting perf
3. Refactor: when clear-cut, remove or refactor code
4. Evaluate: when not clear-cut, estimate potential perf gain
from refactoring, and evaluate whether its worth the time
TIRE: a perf improvement pattern
#gatsbyconf

 Perf matters because of UX, conversions, and search rankings
 Like getting healthy, hard part is getting fast and staying fast
 You stay fast by running a testing tool on every PR and commit.
 You get fast by:
 ....looking at five types of browser work (third-party scripts,
JS bundles, images & media, styles, and requests)
 And following the TIRE process (Triage relative importance,
Isolate key code, Refactor if easy, Evaluate impact if not)
So, to recap.
#gatsbyconf
 Sign up for Gatsby Cloud
 Use the new gatsby-plugin-image
And...if you only have a couple hours
#gatsbyconf
Oh, and one last thing.

The Anatomy Of A Performance Audit

Editor's Notes

  1. Im excited to talk about a key reason why people love Gatsby: fast sites. "In fifteen minutes, I'm going to share with you enough information to get started with a performance audit, we've done dozens of these at Gatsby."
  2. The tricky thing is that performance isnt just about making your site fast, its about keeping it fast. That means putting the right processes in place at your organization. In other words, performance is both a technical challenge and a people challenge.
  3. The tricky thing is that performance isnt just about making your site fast, its about keeping it fast. That means putting the right processes in place at your organization. In other words, performance is both a technical challenge and a people challenge.
  4. What Addys saying is that performance work without organizational basis in place will feel like this. [After] improving performance, metrics often rapidly regress once [teams] return to feature development. -- Addy Osmani, Web Performance Lead, Google When companies put in the work to improve performance, perf metrics will often rapidly regress once they return to feature development.
  5. Okay, so a couple things about this talk. Also, this talk is accompanied by a new piece of documentation in the Performance section. If youre curious to dive deeper into any of the topics Ill be covering, that doc is a great place to star So lets talk about what a performance process looks like. The good news is that its simpler than you might think.
  6. Third, watch the numbers. Performance gains -- and regressions -- are sometimes unexpectedly large. You could improve performance 10 points by eliminating one script; or reduce it 10 points by accidentally pulling in extra JavaScript. Quantify so you know what moves the needle.
  7. So lets talk about what a performance process looks like. The good news is that its simpler than you might think.
  8. First, choose a testing tools. These are both great choices. Lighthouse tends to be seen as more "canonical". Webpagetest tends to be seen as more precise.
  9. Second, monitor performance on a per-commit, per-PR basis to flag regressions. Gatsby Cloud has Lighthouse performance reports built into its CI/CD. Alternately, use a third-party service -- there are tons of great options.
  10. Third, watch the numbers. Performance gains -- and regressions -- are sometimes unexpectedly large. You could improve performance 10 points by eliminating one script; or reduce it 10 points by accidentally pulling in extra JavaScript. Quantify so you know what moves the needle.
  11. Okay, so youve got your performance process in place. Now time to get down to improving performance.
  12. Gatsby makes your sites fast by default. But there are lots of things you can do that will still make it less fast than it could be. Were going to talk today about how to improve performance by finding and fixing those issues. This is a great quote by Kyle.
  13. This is one way to think about performance. All performance work is telling your users browser how to do less work
  14. Fundamentally there are five things that your browser is doing, after it reads the initial HTML. These are the main that weve seen from Gatsby sites use this language to frame things. Gatsby does a ton of things to optimize -- both inherent in the framework as well as a number of plugins -- Each thing the browser does is something you can optimize.

  16. Typically youre going to get the most impact from tackling the first three. But you wont know for sure until you run a report. But which one of them is most important? Thats where you run your audit report. Lets dive into a audit quickly.
  17. Lets talk about addressing third-party scripts.
  18. Split out into a couple of slides, add screenshots, talk track from https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pull/29373/files#diff-9247dd003bf5e2c2484bc03c00563897b16e095ec6d6682c997951ba1b78f654R57

  20. 3rd party scripts are a black box for most developers. To improve things, you have to look into the box.
  21. The first thing you should do is understand whats going on.
  22. After you have a sense for the impact of each script and all scripts, you have a number of options to explore. Maybe theres a high-cost script that you can cleverly eliminate by using a system you already use to send the data marketing needs. Maybe one script was only being left by someone who left last last month, and you can get rid of it.

  24. This is the plugin output for one of our builds on gatsbyjs.com. Seeing something like this can be a bit intimidating, so Ill break it down here.
  25. Looking at the naming structure, you can identify several application level chunks shared between all pages (Note: This is a pretty healthy bundle)
  26. You can also see chunks that are specific to the particular template used to generate this page (Note: This is a pretty healthy bundle)

  32. This is the Coverage Drawer -- a tab you can find in Chrome Developer Tools -- for the homepage of an e-commerce site that is using Gatsby. You can see their homepage is roughly 300 kilobytes, around 80% of which isnt being used. This is because theyre pulling in a lot of CSS that isnt being used.
