Wes Bos - How is this Website so fast!?
Shared: | Tags: webdevWes Bos inspects McMaster-Carr a tools and parts shop with a website that's buttery smooth. No seriously try it.
The developers seemed to have pulled out all the stops to accomplish this. There are some simple methods like using CDN caching, client caching through ServiceWorkers
and preloading assets in <head>
including dns-prefetch
but also lesser known, or more obscure ones like using sprites to load images to reduce the number of HTTP requests. The videos covers some more, but I'll be using some of these in my site builds in the future.
