Modern FrontEnd Performance

Faster APIs

The regular stuff

Concatenation

Minification

Small Images

CSS Icons

Demo 

window.setInterval(() => {
        this.$scope.$apply(function(){
          this.currentTime = new Date();
        });
      }, 1000);

Understanding a frame

Lets Profile !

So javascript is the only bottleneck ?

Demo

 document.querySelector('.set-size').addEventListener('click', function(event) {
    // get all the paragraphs
    var ps = document.querySelectorAll('.lipsum-blocks p');
    var i = ps.length;
    var size;
     while (i--) {
        // looking at the sizer's offsetWidth on each loop - this is the slow bit
        ps[i].style.width = sizer.offsetWidth + 'px';
     }
    event.preventDefault();
  });

Optimizing CSS

  1. Reduce Complexity of the CSS Selectors
  2. Reduce the number of elements on which style calculation must be calculated.
  3. Reduce paint areas through layer promotion
