How to Build Blazing Fast Websites with Any Framework


Wes Bos made a very nice video about a very fast website (McMaster-CARR) and the techniques used to make it fast. Admittedly, the site is fast for some pages, and sometimes slow for other pages. Even for the fast pages, Chrome User Experience report showed that 50% of its users have a low/bad experience on those same pages.

While they employed good techniques to get that fast, some of those techniques have better alternatives today. I want to go beyond the techniques Wes showed and provide you with insight into how that website performs from a real-user monitored data, and teach you what you can do to make your website faster and SEO-performant.

From this perspective I invited Erwin Hofman (a GDE on Web performance) to my livestream where we talked and showed techniques to achieve very fast website performance.

We looked at:

  • real user monitoring data and what they mean
  • how different users experienced the website speed
  • techniques to build fast website irrespective of frontend framework

This is an opportunity to learn how to audit your own site, interpret the data, and learn web performance best practices.
