Building frontend applications is now easier than ever, but this simplicity comes with a price. The ever-increasing levels of abstraction obfuscate everything that goes “under the hood” of an app, obscuring things like the performance impact of every new addition.
This talk will focus on web app bundle optimization and its role in ensuring high loading speeds and optimal performance of web applications.
Drawing on practical experiences and lessons learned from our work at Wilco, the talk will cover key topics such as code splitting, asset optimization, caching and more. We will also highlight the trade-offs between performance optimization and maintainability, and the importance of understanding the relationship between bundle size and user experience. The goal is to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of JavaScript bundle optimization and the tools and techniques necessary to improve the performance of their frontend applications.
