About this talk

What the session covered.

Advanced performance work goes beyond plugin configuration and image compression.

At WordCamp Geneve 2022, Vineet covered the architectural decisions that determine website speed at scale: async CSS loading, code splitting, resource hints, minification strategy, async script loading, and load balancer architecture.

The session was aimed at practitioners who had already done the basics and needed to understand what the next tier of optimization involves.

Slides are available.

Key takeaways

What this talk established.

✓
Async CSS loading removes a critical render-blocking path that most sites still carry.
✓
Code splitting reduces initial payload and shifts loading cost to demand.
✓
Resource hints (preload, prefetch, preconnect) reduce latency on known critical paths.
✓
Serverless and load balancer architecture directly affect time-to-first-byte at scale.
✓
Advanced optimization requires understanding how the browser parses and executes resources, beyond compression alone.
