  • Microsoft Student Ambassadors, Kenya (virtual)

    I will be presenting "Make the Web Faster!" at Microsoft Student Ambassadors, Kenya

    This session demonstrates practical techniques that drop a web page's size from almost 3MB to 143K, and load time from 6 seconds to less than a second, while looking the same! Review tools that validate and describe performance best practices. Explore how to defer resource requests, load resources asynchronously, and prefetch critical resources. Many other performance improvements will be discussed, which can reduce response time while also boosting the scalability and reliability of your site.
