As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. All modern browsers are fast, Chromium and Safari/WebKit included. Service Workers.

Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates. Speed is also something Google considers when ranking your website placement on mobile. Compressing, minifying and caching assets. KB for desktops and 902 KB for mobile devices from 2016 to 2021.

The service categorized all the optimizations in three groups consisting of several “Content,” “Delivery,” and “Cache” optimizations. In my benchmarks, Brotli:11 takes several hundred milliseconds to compress a single minified jQuery file. I wanted to avoid this extra connection cost because it has significant impact for mobile users.

Sites need to be built utilising these techniques from a mobile first (and performance first) perspective. Here are three key techniques that you can use to optimise performance using mobile as your starting point. It’s increasingly a mobile world and your main aim should be to engage users as quickly as possible.

Many factors affect the speed of your WordPress website; some of them are: Your web host Server-side optimizations (PHP version, compression, caching, etc.) 44% of the average bytes per page, whether on desktop or mobile, are solely made up of images. Traditionally, most WordPress hosts manage the caching.

ALDO found that on their single-page app, mobile users who experienced fast rendering times brought 75% more revenue than average, and 327% more revenue than those experiencing slow rending times. With many synthetic monitoring tools, you can benchmark your site against your competitors. This is often referred to as a cold cache.

On your first try, you can use it as a benchmark for optimizations later. Active Memory Caching. When you want to get data that you already had quickly, you need to do caching — caching stores data that a user recently retrieved. Caching partially stores your data and is not used as permanent storage.

I suggest it’s long past time to move beyond C and SPEC benchmarks and our exclusive focus on “metal” languages. There are already standard benchmark suites for JavaScript performance in the browser, and we can include applications written in node.js (server-side JavaScript), Python web servers, and more.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS.

Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ). Study your main competitors, collect metrics on how they perform on mobile and desktop and set thresholds that would help you outpace them. It will help you build up a company-tailored case study with real data.
