We all have day jobs, but more often than not, they don’t include performance (sad face). Keeping up with latest performance trends can be time consuming and hard. This tutorial does that work for you.
Gareth Hughes and Michael Gooding guide you through the top five performance techniques for today’s modern browsers and provide the tools and knowledge you need to implement them today, covering topics like service workers, image optimizations, HTTPS and HTTP/2, preloads and preconnects, and compression. For each topic, Gareth and Michael offer an introduction to the technique, share the benefits gained from implementing it along with real-world examples, the benefits gained from implementing, helpful tips, case studies, and, when possible, a live demo, and explore adoption rates. You’ll leave armed with an understanding of how you can prioritize and apply performance improvements to your own applications effectively.

Previously, he worked for the NCC Group (formerly Site Confidence), helping customers from all industries improve the performance of their sites.

Where can I get the recording?
Hi Brett, Thanks for the feedback. Slides have been added above now.
This was the best session I attended! Gareth mentioned the slides would be available?
Is there a repo we need to follow along tomorrow? I didn’t see anything in my email. Please let me know what we need setup on our laptop before the class. Thanks!
Hi Sugi,
The tutorial was full, but we added more seats, so you will definitely be able to attend. If you have any other questions about your registration, you can email confreg@oreilly.com.Thank you,

Hi,
I’ve just switched my tutorial selection to this tutorial. I received an email saying that my registration selections has been updated. However, reading from the comments below, I am concerned that my switching is already late (this tutorial is already full). So my question is
1. Is my seat for this tutorial confirmed since I already get an email saying that my registration selections has been updated?
2. If the tutorial is indeed already full, will I get an email saying that my switch fails?
Many Thanks,
Sugi
