How to load your websites at lightning speed?

These 8 tips can help you boost the frontend performance of your website’s speed:

1 - Compression
Compress files and minimize data size before transmission to reduce network load.

2 - Selective Rendering/Windowing
Display only visible elements to optimize rendering performance. For example, in a dynamic list, only render visible items.

3 - Modular Architecture with Code Splitting
Split a bigger application bundle into multiple smaller bundles for efficient loading.

4 - Priority-Based Loading
Prioritize essential resources and visible (or above-the-fold) content for a better user experience.

5 - Pre-loading
Fetch resources in advance before they are requested to improve loading speed.

6 - Tree Shaking or Dead Code Removal
Optimize the final JS bundle by removing dead code that will never be used.

7 - Pre-fetching
Proactively fetch or cache resources that are likely to be needed soon.

8 - Dynamic Imports
Load code modules dynamically based on user actions to optimize the initial loading times.

All good tips.

I have compression turned on for all websites. I also have output caching on and set for until file changes. This serves most old content from the disk cache. Windows/IIS compression and cache are very powerful. I also have Opcache and acpu cache enabled. Acpu to cache db queries and Opcache to cache what IIS doesn't.

I used PageSpeed Insights to help me find ways to improve my overall performance score. It's now 90%+ on mobile and desktop last I checked, which isn't bad for forum software you do not have back-end access to.

Love this thread! I'll be honest when I would run my forum (more than 10 years ago) I was not aware of all of these tips and tricks. Luckily I never really created any skins or coding myself so it never had been an issue for me.

But these are amazing tips and tricks to keep in mind to help your forum & community running quickly and smoothly. Thank you for sharing this @Cpvr
