Pivotal Reasons to Choose the Magento Performance Optimization
TTFB reducing
One of the most essential indicators of web page activity and speed is TTFB (Time to first byte). This is an actual period between an original request to a server and its response. TTFB should be lower than 1 sec.
Image optimization
Web pages would look blank and unattractive without bright visual elements. Often images compose up to 60% of the web page size. When you optimize images by compressing, you significantly decrease the total size of web pages.
Merging CSS and JS files and their minification
Merge means combining same-type files into a single file. You will quickly notice the difference when your browser will load one merged CSS-file of 1Mb quicker, than five CSS-files that weight 200Kb. All because of fewer requests to a server.
Minification is also available. The process means removing all excess data CSS and Javascript files, which decrease the size of files.
Increasing page speed thanks to parsing of Javascript
Defer parsing of none-required Javascript files may take much time. But in many cases, the Javascript code is not needed to render a page. This deferring parsing of JS will positively influence the entire page speed.
Minifying HTML
Minimizing the HTML content of a page can also improve the page speed. A browser will deliver, parse and render HTML code faster when it is actually minified.
Google Page Speed Optimizer extension is a great helper when you need assistance in merging and minifying JS/CSS files effectively. It will also provide defer parsing of JS and minify HTML.
Focus on reducing page size
The lower page size is, the faster it is loaded - this truth is undoubtful. That's why we care about image optimization, GZIP compression, merging Javascript and CSS files, eliminating excess files and CSS/JS/HTML minifying that allow essentially decreasing overall page size.
Reduced requests number to a server
There are four stages of request processing:
- a request is being delivered from a browser to a server.
- then it is being processed on the server-side
- then it is being delivered to the browser
- and the response is being processed on the browser side
All these stages require time that is why the more requests the browser makes, the slower a web page loading speed is.
