# Web Performance Checklist
|
||||
A checklist to make sure you website will be fast!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## HTML
|
||||
|
||||
* critical link tags are in head
|
||||
* less critical link tags are end of body
|
||||
* less critical link tags lazy load
|
||||
* `<link rel="preload" as="style" onload="this.rel='stylesheet'" id='dashicons-css' `
|
||||
* JS loads with the async property
|
||||
* `<script async src="https://hi.js"></script>`
|
||||
|
||||
## Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
* Fonts should always load `woff2` first
|
||||
* `woff` for fallback
|
||||
* You can use `font-display: swap;` to allow the browser to use a fallback font while custom font files are being downloaded.
|
||||
* eot, or truetype is only needed for `IE < 10`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## CSS
|
||||
|
||||
* Avoid expensive selectors when possible
|
||||
* `border-radius`
|
||||
* `box-shadow`
|
||||
* `transform`
|
||||
* `filter`
|
||||
* `:nth-child`
|
||||
* `position: fixed;`
|
||||
* Partial matching: `[class^="wrap"]`
|
||||
* Don't use universal selectors
|
||||
* Universal selectors like `*, [disabled], [type=“text”]`, etc. are very expensive for the browser to match, as every element in the DOM must be checked.
|
||||
* Avoid deeply nested dependent selectors
|
||||
* The descendant selector is very costly, as the browser must check for a match with every descendant element. On a complex web page, this can result in thousands and thousands (perhaps even more) of descendant selector searches.
|
||||
|
||||
## JS
|
||||
|
||||
* Bundles should always be minified
|
||||
* Bundles should have 0 comments, and all license text extracted to a separate file
|
||||
|
||||
## Assets
|
||||
|
||||
* All assets should be fingerprinted
|
||||
* All assets should have `Cache-Control: max-age=365000000, immutable` as a header
|
||||
* Assets should be served over http/2
|
||||
* Assets should only be served on a cookieless domain
|
||||
* All files should be cached by a CDN
|
||||
* Support Brotli compression
|
||||
* 15-30% smaller than gzip
|
||||
* Compress with gzip, or zopfli as a fallback to brotli
|
||||
*
|
||||
|
||||
## PWA
|
||||
* Use a service worker to cache assets
|
||||
* Use a service worker to prefetch pages users will most likely navigate to next
|
||||
* Support offline, and spotty networks
|
||||
