5. case study about how to improve site speed.

1. Techniques for Website Speed Optimization:


 Minimizing HTTP Requests:
Reducing the number of HTTP requests helps in reducing website loading time.
Combining multiple CSS and JavaScript files into a single file minimizes HTTP
requests, reduces file size, and improves website performance.

 Compressing Images:
Large-sized images can significantly affect website speed. Compressing images
without compromising their quality can help improve website performance. Tools like
TinyPNG or Kraken.io can be used to compress images.

 Enabling Caching:
Enabling caching allows the browser to store website resources locally, reducing
HTTP requests and improving website speed. Setting caching headers in the server’s
response can significantly improve loading speed, especially for returning visitors.

 Using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs):


Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) cache website resources across global servers,
making them readily available to users regardless of their location. Implementing a
CDN can help improve website speed, especially for geographically distant users.

2. Tools for measuring the Website Speed:


 GTmetrix:
It analyzes website speed and provides suggestions to improve performance. It offers
insights on various performance metrics and provides actionable recommendations.

 Google PageSpeed Insights:


PageSpeed Insights analyzes website speed on desktop and mobile devices, providing
suggestions to improve performance. It evaluates multiple factors affecting website
speed and offers optimization tips.

 WebPageTest:
WebPageTest is a tool that provides detailed analysis of website speed. It allows you
to test website performance from multiple locations and provides comprehensive
reports with actionable recommendations.

 Lighthouse:
Lighthouse is an open-source tool from Google that audits website performance,
accessibility, and best practices. It generates performance reports and offers
suggestions to optimize websites.
3. Important Performance Metrics and Factors:
 First Contentful Paint (FCP):
FCP measures the time it takes for the first piece of content to be displayed on the
user’s screen after they request a page. A fast FCP time is crucial for a positive user
experience and engagement.
 First Input Delay (FID):
FID measures the time delay between a user’s first interaction with a web page and
the page’s response to that interaction. It indicates how responsive a web page is to
user input.

 Largest Contentful Paint (LCP):


LCP measures the time it takes for the largest content element on a webpage to
become visible to the user. A good LCP score ensures that important content is
quickly visible, enhancing user experience.

 Time to First Byte (TTFB):


TTFB measures the time it takes for a web browser to receive the first byte of information
from a web server after making a request. It impacts the overall user experience and page
load time.
