Here are some detailed bullet points on how we resolved each aspect:
Optimizing File Sizes
Minified CSS, JavaScript, and HTML: Removed unnecessary characters, such as spaces and comments, to reduce file sizes.
Enabled Compression: Used Gzip or Brotli compression to reduce the size of files sent from the server to the browser.
Optimized Images: Used tools to compress images without losing quality and converted images to next-gen formats like WebP.
Reduced Redirects: Limited the number of redirects to lower additional HTTP requests and improve load times.
Removed Unused Code: Cleaned up CSS and JavaScript by removing any code that wasn’t being used on the page.
Media Optimization & Loading Priority
Lazy Loaded Images and Videos: Delayed the loading of images and videos until they were needed to improve initial load times.
Used Responsive Images: Served different image sizes based on the user’s device to ensure that the best size was delivered.
Used Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Distributed content across multiple servers to reduce the distance between the server and the user.
Prioritized Critical Resources: Ensured critical resources loaded first by using preload, prefetch, or async attributes.
Optimizing for Google's Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Optimized Server Response Times: Improved server response times by using faster hosting, optimizing the database, and reducing resource usage.
Used a Fast Web Hosting Service: At GrumpyHare, we offer a reliable hosting server with good performance and uptime.
Optimized CSS: Removed render-blocking CSS and only loaded the CSS needed for above-the-fold content.
Improved Resource Load Times: Used a CDN, compressed files, and optimized images to reduce the time it took for resources to load.
First Input Delay (FID)
Minimized JavaScript Execution: Split long tasks, deferred unused JavaScript, and used web workers for heavy computations.
Optimized Third-Party Scripts: Reduced the impact of third-party code by only loading necessary scripts and deferring the rest.
Used Browser Caching: Stored resource files in the browser cache to reduce load times on repeat visits.
Reduced Main-Thread Work: Limited the amount of JavaScript executed during initial page load to ensure the main thread was available for user interactions.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Set Size Attributes for Media: Always include width and height attributes on images and video elements to prevent layout shifts as they are loaded.
Reserved Space for Ads and Embeds: Allocated fixed dimensions for ads, embeds, and iframes to prevent them from causing layout shifts.
Used CSS for Animations: Avoided animations that triggered layout changes and used CSS transform and opacity properties instead.
Avoided Injecting Content Above Existing Content: Ensured any new content added to the page did not shift existing content down.
