Improving Load time of a Production React App
The talk will draw on our learnings from the efforts that we undertook earlier this year to improve UrbanClaps’s website performance, resulting in a 60% reduction in load time. All our efforts towards performance engineering can be bucketed in roughly two areas: ship less assets and tweaking order of delivery of assets. In this talk I will primarily focus on the former with key emphasis on how to really optimize bundling via webpack. All of this was done in the context of a large production app with constraints on product, business and user experience.
