The Low Hanging Fruit of Web Performance

I kicked off a really poppin' Twitter thread the other day:

What are the LOWEST hanging fruit of web performance? Nothing fancy, anyone can do, big impact.

Gzip. Optimize stuff. Reduce requests...

What are other big ones?

So, I decided to round up all the ideas (both my own and yours) around that in a post over on the Media Temple blog.

These are the things we dive into in that post:

1. Reduce Requests
2. Optimize Assets
3. Make sure you’re gzipping
4. Make sure you’re browser caching
5. Use a CDN
6. Lazy Load and Defer Loading of Things
7. Use responsive images (or at least use reasonable sizes)
8. Mind Your Fonts
9. Good Hosting / HTTP2 / PHP7
10. Turbolinks
