On the training resource Udacity launched a mini-course on web performance from Google employee Ilya Grigorik .
In the western part of the Internet, for about 2 years, there is an active discussion on the optimization of the so-called “The Critical Rendering Path”. In short, this is the moment when the site user sees the content that he needs. Everything that happens up to this point is data loading, DOM building, CSS and JS loading, etc. - all this can and should be optimized.
The course tells about a lot of things:
How does the page load in the browser (more info here )
How to use Chrome Developer Tools (more info here )
How to debug a web page on your phone (more info here )
And much more
This is not the first course on web productivity from Ilya. For example, you can recall this playlist from the Fluent 2013 conference. ')
He also wrote about optimizations in his book “High-Performance Browser Networking,” the online version of which can be read for free.
