Alex Moldovan at React Day Berlin 2018

One of the crucial elements of performance is to ship relevant content to your users as soon as possible. But in modern web applications, figuring out what to ship and what to prioritize can be hard.

Expect a talk full of valuable resources and ideas that one can use to improve the performance of a modern web application, with a case study on a React powered application.
