Boost Your Website Performance - Practical for Developers

Are your website pages loading slowly? Frustrated with poor website performance and a low performance score? You're in the right place. This course provides practical, hands-on solutions to dramatically improve your website's speed and responsiveness.

I'm here to help you achieve optimal website performance. With a background in mechanical engineering (B.Sc. + M.Sc.) and over 20 years of experience developing software applications in the Hi-Tech industry, coupled with extensive teaching experience, I offer a trustworthy and effective learning approach. (Check out my LinkedIn profile to learn more about my expertise.) I've mastered numerous technologies and understand the precise knowledge needed to optimize your website.

This course focuses on real-world application, not just theory. We'll work through three practical examples – actual web pages – to demonstrate a step-by-step process for boosting load time and responsiveness to achieve a performance score of 99-100.

The front-end of your website – HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Fonts, and Images – significantly impacts loading speed. This course dives deep into optimizing these elements.

Unlike many courses that dwell on theory, this one provides actionable strategies to solve common web performance issues. You'll gain answers to critical questions often unanswered by developers:

• How to measure website performance effectively?
• How to analyze performance bottlenecks?
• How to fix performance issues and achieve a 100 performance score using a clear, proven procedure?

We'll address these questions using the three web pages throughout the course.

Here's what you'll learn to become a web performance expert:

• Core Web Vitals: Understand and optimize LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), and TBT (Time to First Byte).
• Performance Measurement: Master using PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse for accurate performance analysis.
• Performance Analysis: Learn to leverage WebPageTest for in-depth website performance analysis.
• Proven Optimization Procedure: Implement a clear, step-by-step procedure to improve your webpage performance score to 100.
