#JS loading priorities

[professorlegaspi]

Buckle up kiddos because you’re about to get an in depth character analysis of our favorite unnamed character ever: Josh Rumble’s sister!

Major disclaimer before I start: info on this girl is few and far between. I did not reread the whole series and I could have missed something. If you find something unmentioned in this essay TELL ME. Do not be shy. No, I will not be mad. Yes, I will want to hear. I am rabid about this woman. [EDIT: I forgot about the tag-teen interview when writing this analysis, so it does leave out some (potentially important) info on Josh’s parents that was revealed there. Make of it what you will].

The biggest source of information we DO have about Josh’s Sister (from here on referred to as JS) is her conversation with Celia in the Gathering Storm. The bulk of this essay will focus on that scene, but I want to mention the other small tidbits that exist.

We basically have 3 facts found outside of The Summer Tournament.

1) JS is older than Josh Rumbles

2) JS taught Josh how to dance

3) JS gave Josh an e-reader for Christmas in The Final Word.

This tells us a couple more things.

1) Her family celebrates Christian holidays

2) JS is good at gift giving

3) JS has disposable income

Okay cool. So JS is in contact with her family who are either Christian or culturally Christian, she knows how to dance, and she loves her brother. Baseline stuff.

Now the spicy bit - the Summer Tournament.

For those who may have forgotten, Josh’s team won the Renasci Soccovolle tournament so now they’re going to nationals. The one that year is in Florida, and all of Josh’s friends have come out to watch him play.

Yes, you are remembering correctly. This is the stage of The Kiss. Josh kisses Celia, she slaps him, it gets caught on camera, it’s on the front cover of every newspaper. Josh is pissed, Celia is pissed, and JS is pissed.

Celia and co. are staying at a hotel for the tournament. They have nearby rooms, and Josh is staying with his teammates, presumably in the same hotel. It is unclear what JS’s rooming situation is.

Josh apologizes to Celia in the hotel lobby, and it ends with him storming away. JS confronts Celia directly afterwards, so we can infer the JS has seen the conversation.

The first thing we learn about JS is her appearance.

She is tall, and gorgeous. She has blue eyes, mahogany hair, and her two most notable descriptors are “cool” and “sophisticated.” If there is any archetype she fits it is “The Bitch.”

Fittingly, she starts off the conversation bitchy.

She “stud[ies] her fingernails” for much of the following conversation. She is an absolute drama queen.

JS goes on to explain why she’s there. “I was here to watch my brother play. Our parents couldn’t make it.”

I would like to take a minute to remind everyone that Josh, for much of the summer, had been complaining because the one year he made it the Summer Tournament it was in Florida, the state where he lived.

The summer tournament is in Florida - where Josh lives - and his parents couldn’t make it. I think we all can agree that that’s a little weird.

They’re either poor and can’t veherate, thus making travel difficult, Josh’s tournament isn’t considered a priority for them (:/).

This next part is interesting:

“I guess he talks about you a lot.” On the surface, this tells us that JS and Josh communicate frequently.

However, that clause “I guess” is strange. There’s no real reason to add it. Her message still comes across - indeed, is more impactful - without it. So the fact that it’s there speaks to habit. She’s used to either tempering herself and her opinions, or she’s used to hiding her relationship with her brother.

And then, and THEN!

“You didn’t have to make it so public.”

That is a loaded sentence. The implications there are scalding. This changes everything.

This sentence is pivotal because it tells us why she’s upset - why she’s picking a fight.

JS does not care that Josh has a crush on Celia. That is for him to work out. She does not care that Celia turned him down. That is for them to work out. She does not even care that Celia slapped him. Look at the sentence above. “Are you often in the habit of humiliating your friends?” she asks. Not ‘hitting�� not ‘injuring’ not ‘slapping.’ Humiliating.

JS does not care that Celia hit her brother. She cares that it happened publicly.

JS cares about Josh’s reputation.

With that revelation, I want to return to her descriptions. “Polish and sophistication” is what Celia notes about her contenance. Knowing that JS cares deeply about how her brother is seen, and therefore cares deeply about how she is seen, the air of “polish” cannot be anything but deliberate.

JS either wants to, or feels like she has to, be exceedingly presentable even on a Sunday morning travel-day.

This could be a result of being overlooked as a woman, but I think especially because her reaction to Josh’s “humiliation” was so strong, it is probably a quirk of her upbringing.

Contrast that with Josh. He’s constantly choking on his own masculinity. He’s a jock, he doesn’t know how to communicate his feelings, he is uncomfortable even when other people communicate their feelings, he has a fairly gruff exterior and feels threatened by other men.

Something about JS and Josh’s upbringing has caused them to feel that they have to perform gender roles very hard, and has also made JS see violence coming from a loved one as less important than reputation.

WHAT is their home life???

Genuinely. Something is Going On.

Whatever it was, it caused Josh to almost never mention it. He never calls his sister by name, and it is only though passing comments that we know they have a relationship. And we know nothing about his parents [EDIT: this is rendered false by the overlooked TAG Teen interview].

So, to conclude.

JS comes from an … interesting home life. She cares about her brother. She is protective of her brother. She buys him expensive Christmas presents. He tells her about his friends and Celia. She listens.

She cares about being taken seriously, and beyond being very beautiful seems to have secured a well-paying job. She is very curt when she speaks, and likes to let people come to their own conclusions. She doesn’t offer her name and Josh never mentions it.

After the Gathering Storm she is never seen again.

The Power of Technical SEO: Why It’s the Backbone of Your Website’s Success

When we think of SEO, what often comes to mind is keyword usage, content creation, and backlinks. While these are critical components of a strong digital presence, technical SEO is the invisible architecture that holds everything together. Without it, even the best content can go unnoticed by search engines.

In this blog, we’ll explore the role of technical SEO, why it’s crucial in 2025, how it impacts your search rankings, and how the Best SEO company of Mumbai helps businesses build a solid technical foundation that drives organic growth.

What Is Technical SEO?

Technical SEO refers to the optimization of a website’s infrastructure so that search engine bots can efficiently crawl, index, and rank it. While content SEO answers the question “what does the user want?”, technical SEO answers “how well can the search engine understand and access your site?”

It includes:

Site speed and performance

Mobile-friendliness

Structured data

Secure and accessible URLs

XML sitemaps

Canonical tags

Crawl budget optimization

Error handling (404, 301 redirects, etc.)

In short, it ensures your content can be found, loaded quickly, and interpreted accurately—which is what makes it a priority for the Best SEO company of Mumbai.

Why Technical SEO Is More Important Than Ever

Search engine algorithms are evolving rapidly, but so are user expectations. People want pages to load fast, work smoothly on mobile, and deliver accurate results.

Here’s why technical SEO is non-negotiable:

1. Google’s Algorithm Prioritizes Page Experience

Google uses Core Web Vitals as part of its ranking signals. These metrics focus on speed, interactivity, and visual stability—all technical factors.

2. Search Engines Need Help Understanding Content

Your beautifully written blog won’t rank if bots can’t access it or interpret its structure. Technical SEO ensures clarity in code and structure.

3. It Affects Crawl Budget

Google allocates a limited crawl budget per site. If you have broken links, duplicate pages, or a poor structure, search engines might skip important content.

Agencies recognized as the Best SEO company of Mumbai know how to fine-tune technical SEO to maximize visibility across every page.

Key Technical SEO Elements You Can’t Ignore

Let’s break down the most important components and how they influence your website’s performance:

⚡ Page Speed Optimization

A delay of just 1 second in load time can drop conversion rates by 7%. Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to test performance and compress CSS, JS, and images.

📱 Mobile Optimization

With mobile-first indexing, your mobile version is now the primary version Google looks at. Ensure mobile responsiveness, fast load times, and thumb-friendly design.

🌐 HTTPS Security

SSL encryption (HTTPS) is a ranking factor. Make sure your site is secure and your certificate is up-to-date.

🔍 Crawlability and Indexing

Use an updated sitemap.xml, a robots.txt file, and internal linking structure that allows crawlers to discover every page efficiently.

🧩 Structured Data (Schema Markup)

Schema helps search engines understand your content better and display rich snippets in SERPs (ratings, FAQs, events).

These are just a few areas where the Best SEO company of Mumbai conducts deep technical audits to find performance gaps and optimize for better results.

How to Conduct a Technical SEO Audit

Here’s a simplified step-by-step process used by top agencies:

Step 1: Crawl Your Site

Use tools like Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, or SEMrush to crawl your site and identify common issues (broken links, duplicate content, redirect chains).

Step 2: Check for Indexation Issues

Ensure all key pages are indexed using Google Search Console. Watch for crawl errors, soft 404s, and noindex tags mistakenly applied.

Step 3: Audit Site Speed & Performance

Use Core Web Vitals data to identify issues with Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).

Step 4: Evaluate Mobile Experience

Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test. Also, browse your site manually to check layout shifts, navigation clarity, and loading times on different devices.

Step 5: Analyze Site Architecture

Flat structures with clean URLs, breadcrumb trails, and logical internal linking improve both UX and crawlability.

This comprehensive audit approach is what separates the Best SEO company of Mumbai from agencies offering surface-level services.

Case Study: How Technical SEO Revived a Struggling E-Commerce Site

An online fashion retailer was experiencing a consistent drop in traffic, even though they published content regularly and had good backlinks.

When they approached the Best SEO company of Mumbai, a technical audit revealed:

Over 3,000 crawl errors

Duplicate content due to URL parameters

Slow load times on product pages

Broken internal links from outdated category structures

Actions Taken:

Implemented canonical tags

Cleaned up and redirected broken URLs

Optimized images and scripts

Created a proper robots.txt and sitemap.xml

Fixed mobile rendering issues

Results (after 4 months):

64% increase in organic sessions

28% faster average load time

Bounce rate dropped by 35%

Over 1,200 previously unindexed pages began ranking

The Best SEO company of Mumbai uses a combination of these to deliver precision in technical SEO.

The Future of Technical SEO: What to Watch For

As search continues to evolve, so must technical SEO practices. Here are upcoming trends:

🔍 AI-Powered Crawling

Search engines are getting smarter with machine learning—so sites need more semantically connected, machine-readable structures.

💡 Headless CMS Integration

Content management systems that separate front-end and back-end are gaining popularity. Technical SEO will need to adapt accordingly.

🔄 Real-Time Indexing

Instant indexing for news, product updates, and user-generated content is becoming a norm—requiring proper API and sitemap management.

🌙 Dark Mode SEO

As more websites adopt dark mode, maintaining design consistency, contrast ratios, and image clarity across modes becomes vital for UX-driven SEO.

Final Thoughts

While content and backlinks build your brand’s voice and authority, technical SEO is the invisible system that ensures it’s heard. From page speed to site structure, technical SEO lays the groundwork for long-term search performance.

If your website hasn’t undergone a thorough technical audit in the past 6 months, you might already be losing rankings silently.

That’s why businesses serious about growth work with the Best SEO company of Mumbai. Their in-depth technical diagnostics and precise implementation help turn weak foundations into high-ranking engines.

Top 5 Popular Node.js Frameworks to Boost Your Development Efficiency

Have you ever felt stuck while building a website? Maybe you spent hours trying to solve a simple problem, or your code got so messy that you couldn't find where the bugs were hiding. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone! Many developers face these challenges, especially when working with Node.js. That's where a good Node.js framework comes to the rescue.

A Node.js framework is like a helpful friend who organizes your toolbox and shows you the best way to use each tool. It saves you time, reduces mistakes, and makes your work much easier. Today, we'll look at the top 5 Node.js frameworks that can make your development journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Why Do You Need a Node.js Framework?

Before we dive into our list, let's talk about why you might want to use a Node.js framework in the first place. When you build a website from scratch, you need to handle many things: setting up a server, managing routes, connecting to databases, handling errors, and much more. A Node.js framework takes care of these common tasks so you can focus on what makes your website special.

Think of it like cooking dinner. You could grow your own vegetables, make your own cheese, and bake your own bread. Or you could buy these ingredients ready-made and focus on creating a delicious recipe. A Node.js framework gives you the ingredients so you can create something amazing without starting from zero.

Now, let's explore the top 5 Node.js frameworks that developers love in 2025.

 Top 5 Node.js frameworks that developers love in 2025

1. Express.js - Simple and Flexible

Express.js is the most popular Node.js framework out there. It's like the trusty bicycle of frameworks - not too fancy, but reliable and gets the job done well.

What makes Express special?

Express is lightweight and doesn't force you to follow strict rules. You can build your application your way, which makes it perfect for beginners and experienced developers alike. It's great for creating APIs, web applications, and mobile app backends.

Here's what you can do with Express:

Create web servers with just a few lines of code

Handle different URL routes easily

Process data from forms

Connect to databases

Serve static files like images and CSS

Many companies offering Web Development Services choose Express because it's easy to learn and has plenty of tutorials and examples online. Whether you're building a small project or a large application, Express can handle it without getting in your way.

2. NestJS - Organized and Structured

If Express is a bicycle, NestJS is more like a car with GPS. It gives you more structure and tells you where everything should go in your node js web development project.

NestJS is inspired by Angular, which is a popular framework for building front-end applications. It uses TypeScript, which helps catch errors before your code runs.

Why choose NestJS?

NestJS shines when you're working on big projects, especially with a team. It keeps everything organized in modules, making it easier to maintain and grow your application over time.

It also comes with built-in support for testing, which helps you make sure your application works correctly. Professional Web Development Services often recommend NestJS for large business applications where code quality is a top priority.

3. Fastify - Speed Champion

As its name suggests, Fastify is all about speed. If you want your website to load quickly, even when many people use it at once, this Node.js framework deserves your attention.

How fast is Fastify?

Fastify can handle up to twice as many requests per second compared to Express. This makes it perfect for applications that need to deal with heavy traffic or process large amounts of data quickly.

Despite focusing on speed, Fastify is still friendly to work with. It has a plugin system that makes it easy to add new features to your application without writing everything from scratch.

Many modern Web Development Services are switching to Fastify when building high-performance APIs and microservices. It also validates data very quickly, which helps keep your application secure and reliable.

4. Koa.js - The Modern Choice

Created by the same team behind Express, Koa.js represents the next step in the evolution of Node.js frameworks. It's smaller, more expressive, and handles modern JavaScript features better.

What makes Koa different?

Koa uses modern JavaScript features like async/await, which makes handling asynchronous operations (like fetching data from a database) much cleaner and easier to understand.

Koa's middleware system gives you more control over how your application handles requests and responses. It also makes error handling simpler, which means fewer headaches when something goes wrong.

For node js web development projects that involve complex data operations, Koa can significantly improve your productivity. Companies providing Web Development Services often choose Koa for projects that need to handle many tasks happening at different times.

5. Adonis.js - The Complete Package

Sometimes you want a framework that handles everything out of the box. That's where Adonis.js comes in. It's a full-featured Node.js framework that provides all the tools you need in one place.

Why Adonis stands out:

Adonis comes with everything needed to build a complete web application:

Tools for database operations

User login and registration systems

Form validation

Template engine for creating HTML pages

File uploading

And much more

If you've used Laravel (a popular PHP framework), you'll feel right at home with Adonis.js. It follows similar patterns and principles.

For businesses looking for comprehensive Web Development Services, Adonis provides a complete solution that can significantly reduce development time. It's particularly good for traditional websites with pages that are created on the server.

How to Choose the Right Framework for Your Project

With so many great options, how do you pick the right Node.js framework for your needs? Here are some simple guidelines:

For beginners or simple projects: Express.js

For large, team-based applications: NestJS

For websites that need to be super fast: Fastify

For modern, clean code: Koa.js

For full-featured websites: Adonis.js

Also think about what you or your team already know. If everyone is familiar with Express, switching to a completely different framework might slow you down at first.

Conclusion

The right Node.js framework can make a huge difference in how quickly and easily you can build web applications. Whether you choose the simplicity of Express, the structure of NestJS, the speed of Fastify, the modern approach of Koa, or the completeness of Adonis, you're setting yourself up for success in your node js web development journey.

Remember that the best framework is the one that fits your specific needs and helps you create high-quality websites efficiently. Many professional Web Development Services use different frameworks for different projects, depending on what each client needs.

How to Build a Fast, Secure, and Scalable Website

In today’s digital age, having a website that is fast, secure, and scalable is essential for businesses and developers alike. Whether you are building a personal blog, an e-commerce platform, or an enterprise-level application, ensuring optimal performance, security, and scalability should be a priority. A well-optimized website enhances user experience, improves search engine rankings, and ensures seamless operation even during traffic surges. In this blog, we’ll explore best practices to help you build a website that meets these critical criteria and supports business growth effectively.

1. Optimize for Speed

Website speed plays a crucial role in user experience and search engine rankings. Here are some key strategies to enhance website performance:

Use a Fast Hosting Provider

Choosing the right hosting provider can significantly impact your website's speed and reliability. Opt for a service that offers high-speed performance, such as cloud hosting or dedicated servers. Popular hosting providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean offer scalable and high-performance solutions tailored to different business needs.

Leverage Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

CDNs store copies of your website’s static assets across multiple global servers, reducing latency and load times for users in different locations. Using a CDN ensures your website loads quickly, even for visitors accessing it from distant geographic locations.

Optimize Images and Media Files

Large image files can slow down your website significantly. Use tools like TinyPNG or WebP format to compress images without sacrificing quality. Additionally, consider using responsive image formats that adjust dynamically based on device resolution and screen size.

Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML

Reducing the size of your code by minifying CSS, JS, and HTML files can significantly improve loading times. Tools like UglifyJS, CSSNano, and HTMLMinifier can help streamline your code while maintaining its functionality.

Implement Lazy Loading

Lazy loading ensures that images, videos, and other heavy resources load only when needed, improving initial page load speed. This technique reduces the amount of data that needs to be loaded immediately when a user lands on your page.

Use Browser Caching

By enabling caching, browsers can store copies of static resources, reducing the need to reload them each time a user visits the website. This helps in significantly improving return visits and reducing server load.

2. Enhance Security Measures

With cyber threats on the rise, securing your website is non-negotiable. Here’s how to protect your site effectively:

Use HTTPS and SSL Certificates

Securing your website with HTTPS by installing an SSL certificate encrypts data between users and your site, preventing cyber-attacks like man-in-the-middle attacks and data breaches.

Regularly Update Software and Plugins

Keep your CMS, themes, and plugins updated to prevent vulnerabilities that hackers may exploit. Outdated software is one of the primary security risks leading to data theft and unauthorized access.

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF)

A WAF helps filter and monitor HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet, blocking malicious attacks. It acts as a shield against threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Adding an extra layer of security, such as 2FA, ensures that only authorized users gain access to sensitive areas of your website. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access due to password breaches.

Perform Regular Security Audits

Use tools like Sucuri or Qualys to conduct regular security scans and identify potential vulnerabilities before hackers do. Conducting periodic penetration testing also helps in strengthening website security.

Implement Secure Authentication and Data Encryption

Use strong passwords, encrypt stored data, and implement security headers to protect against threats like cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attacks. Keeping security policies updated helps in mitigating emerging cybersecurity risks.

3. Ensure Scalability

Scalability is essential to handle traffic spikes without compromising performance. Here’s how to design a scalable website:

Adopt a Microservices Architecture

Instead of a monolithic structure, use a microservices-based approach where different parts of the application can scale independently. This allows for easier updates and better fault isolation.

Use Load Balancing

Distribute traffic efficiently across multiple servers to prevent overload and downtime. Load balancers like Nginx or AWS Elastic Load Balancing can help maintain high availability even during peak traffic periods.

Leverage Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure offer auto-scaling features that adjust resources based on traffic demands. This ensures that your website remains responsive even during unexpected traffic surges.

Optimize Database Performance

Use indexing, query optimization, and caching techniques (e.g., Redis or Memcached) to improve database efficiency and handle high loads. A well-optimized database enhances website performance and response time.

Use Asynchronous Processing

For tasks that do not require immediate execution, implement asynchronous processing using message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka) to enhance performance. This allows the website to handle multiple processes efficiently without performance lags.

Monitor and Scale Automatically

Set up monitoring tools like New Relic, Google Analytics, or AWS CloudWatch to track performance metrics and automate scaling decisions. Proactive monitoring helps in identifying performance bottlenecks and making necessary optimizations.

Conclusion

Building a fast, secure, and scalable website requires a strategic approach that balances performance optimization, security best practices, and scalable architecture. By implementing these techniques, you can create a website that provides a seamless experience for users while ensuring security and reliability as your business grows.

19 Website Speed Optimization Strategies for 2024

Website speed optimization can help you increase average time on page, reduce your bounce rate, and convert more visitors into customers. 

If you’re not sure how to get started, we’ve got you covered. Below we'll explain what website speed optimization is and 19 strategies that will help you improve your website speed and overall website performance. 

Speed Up Your Website with RocketPress Built-In CDN

What is website speed optimization?

Website speed optimization is the set of strategies and best practices implemented to make a website as fast as possible.

Website speed optimization offers other benefits as well, like a higher conversion rate, lower bounce rate, and improved user experience.

Several studies prove that website speed interrelates with other key metrics. For example, according to a recent study by Portent, a B2B site that loads in 1 second has a conversion rate that's three times higher than a site that loads in 5 seconds.

Each additional second of load time steepens that difference in conversion rate, as seen in the chart below. 

When looking at overall goal conversion rates instead of ecommerce conversions, the dropoff of conversions is much steeper as sites get slower, according to Portent. When pages load in 1 second, the average conversion rate is 39%. At a 2-second load time, the conversion rate drops to 34%. At 5 seconds, the conversion rate drops to 22%. After that, you can expect roughly half the conversion rate of lightning-fast websites.

How to Optimize Your Website Speed

Your hosting provider, images, JavaScript and CSS files, and web fonts are just a few factors that can impact your website speed. To get the fastest website possible, you can optimize all these factors by following the steps below. While not exhaustive, this list will form a comprehensive optimization strategy. 

1. Audit Your Site

Before making any changes that impact how your site loads and handles content, it’s worth auditing its current performance.

To start, you can use a free tool like PageSpeed Insights. It will assess your Core Web Vitals on mobile (by default) or desktop and let you know if you passed. It will also provide a color-coded score reflecting your site’s overall performance, and identify opportunities for improving your score. Here's an example for Forbes.com. 

Your assessment should also include actual experience: access your website from multiple devices and see what the experience feels like. Is it seamless and speedy, or cumbersome and clunky?

The more data you have about how your site performs, the better your ability to identify and implement key fixes.

2. Prioritize Potential Fixes

Once you’ve identified website speed issues, it's tempting to try to fix everything at once. But even if you had unlimited resources and time, we wouldn't recommend this approach. 

Instead, try to prioritize potential fixes based on what matters most to your visitors. For example, if your site takes a significant amount of time to start loading, focus your efforts on server-side concerns such as hosting provider problems or DNS issues. This takes priority even if the content on your site also struggles to deliver at speed — because visitors won't stick around to see your content if the page itself takes long to load.

You can also use the recommendations and diagnostics provided by speed testing tools, like PageSpeed Insights, to help prioritize your optimization efforts. For example, when looking at the list below, you would prioritize reducing main-thread work — the time spent parsing, compiling and executing JS — over avoiding large layout shifts. 

It can give users faster-loading websites that respond more efficiently to user interactions, which helps your business boost user satisfaction and search engine rankings.

3. Evaluate Your Current Hosting Provider

As noted above, your hosting provider could be a potential source of speed problems. While several factors could contribute to speed issues, including the geographical location of your provider, their physical infrastructure and the overall bandwidth of their network connection, the type of web hosting your website is using can also impact performance.

Three common types are shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting.

Shared: Although shared hosting options are the most cost-effective, they split hosting resources among multiple sites, which lowers overall performance. This will especially cause problems if your site gets spikes in traffic or a consistent amount of high traffic.

VPS: Virtual private server (VPS) options logically segment services on a shared physical drive to improve performance but still face speed issues if resource loads are high.

Dedicated: Dedicated servers are more expensive than shared or VPS options but will significantly boost your speed, regardless of resource load. 

4. Consider a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

When all data required to fully load your site is stored in one place, initial and ongoing load times suffer.

This issue will only heighten as internet and data service providers continue to experience dramatic growth in internet traffic worldwide. According to the World Development Report 2021 by The World Bank, global internet traffic is expected to reach 150,000 GB per second by the end of 2022, which is a 1000% increase from 2002.

Content delivery networks (CDNs) can help. They use multiple servers to store replications of your content across multiple locations. When users visit your site, the CDN chooses the server (or servers) closest to their physical location to optimize content delivery.

Image Source

CDNs are becoming increasingly popular. In fact, according to data from the Cisco Visual Networking Index, CDNs will carry 72% of Internet traffic by 2022.

5. Optimize Your Images

Images can make your site more engaging and memorable, but they can also drag down loading times, especially if they’re high resolution.

According to the HTTP Archive, the median weight of images on a web page on desktop is over 1,000 KB (!).

Compressing these images before adding them to your site can save precious weight and time — many photo-editing programs now include “save for web” options that optimize images for websites but there are also free, online options available for compressing common files types such as .JPG, .PNG and .TIFF. TinyPG is just one example.

Instead of using one of the image formats above and running them through an image compression tool, you could use the WebP format. This format provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images.  According to data from Google, WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. 

6. Reduce Total Redirects

Redirects send users away from the page they’ve clicked on to another page — in many cases, they’re a great way to connect high-ranking, high-traffic pages to newer content you’ve created. The problem? More redirects mean more load on the server, which can increase loading time.

While it’s worth using a redirect initially to keep content views steady, replace old redirects with new content ASAP to keep load times short.

7. Limit HTTP Requests

Every HTTP request — for images, stylesheets, scripts, and fonts — adds to your site’s overall load time. As your site grows, these HTTP requests start to stack up and eventually create a noticeable delay between user click-throughs and actual page loading.

The good news is that many of the strategies in this guide, like using a CDN and minifying CSS and JS files, can help limit the number of HTTP requests you site makes.  

8. Compress, Compress, Compress

The more you can reduce file sizes without compromising quality, the better your website performance. One of the most robust and reliable compression frameworks is Gzip, but other methods can also deliver reduced file sizes without impacting the user experience.

According to data from W3Techs, over 88% of all websites use compression and almost 60% use Gzip specifically. 

Ask your web hosting service what type of compression they’re using. If they’re not using any, consider a new provider or check out this guide for enabling Gzip compression. 

9. Capitalize on Caching

Caching allows browsers to pre-load some of your content to speed up webpage delivery.

Many content management systems (CMS) will automatically cache the most current versions of your site, but it’s also possible to extend this caching timeframe through CMS settings. This is especially beneficial for content that doesn’t regularly change on your site, like:

Logos

Static images

Downloadable files

JavaScript files

Stylesheets

If your CMS doesn't offer this feature, then consider installing a caching plugin. 

The RocketPress plugin is a great choice for an all-in-one optimization plugin, offering plenty of features for caching, image compression, frontend optimizations, and other features that can significantly speed up any WordPress website. It's free and easy to use, and comes packed with premium features such as CSS, JavaScript and HTML minificaiton, GZIP compression, and several options for caching.

10. Track 404 Errors

404 or “page not found” errors occur when users try to access a page that you’ve deleted or moved — and once they’ve run into 404 errors it’s unlikely they’ll try accessing your site again, meaning you lose a potential customer. Solve for 404 errors by running free, external tools to track down 404 outcomes and remove dead links.

11. Make Mobile a Priority

According to data from Statista, the number of mobile internet users in the United States in 2021 amounted to 276.83 million. That number is expected to grow to 296.18 million by 2025.

Not only are more people using mobile devices to access the internet — more people are using it as their preferred device type. According to data from a HubSpot survey of over 400 web traffic analysts in the U.S., 41% of traffic to their sites comes from mobile and 38% comes from desktop. 

Image Source

As more users switch to mobile devices as their primary browsing and shopping mediums, speedy mobile sites are essential.

While it’s possible to simply display your desktop site on mobile devices and hope for the best, this often results in load time and interactivity issues that quickly frustrate users. It’s worth spending on development for a mobile-native website designed to maximize loading speed and improve response time.

12. Migrate to a CMS

A website builder can be a great option for quickly building and customizing a site. But it can lack the infrastructure and features to help websites with complex issues like slow load times. If you don't have the time, resources, or experience to employ all the optimization strategies in this guide, consider migrating to a CMS. 

The right content management system can significantly improve website performance by streamlining content retrieval and offering robust options to modify site operations. Some even come with a built-in CDN.

13. Combine JavaScript and CSS Files

JavaScript and CSS files are among the largest files on a website. They also count as individual HTTP requests. So five JS files and five CSS files would require a total of 10 HTTP request. 

If you have the website development know-how, it’s possible to combine sets of JavaScript or CSS files and reduce the number of steps required to completely load your site.

WordPress plugins such as RocketPress make this possible with just a few clicks, but whether you dive into code itself or use a CMS, it’s worth considering file combination to increase total speed.

14. Minify JavaScript and CSS files

Another way you can reduce the size of your JavaScript and CSS files is minifying them. This technique involves removing any unnecessary code like:

white space characters, line breaks, comments, and extra semicolons

unused functions and variables

longhand CSS selectors that could be shorthand

This will reduce file sizes and therefore load times. You can do this manually or use a minification tool. 

15. Determine Your DNS Speed

The longer it takes your domain name server (DNS) to respond, the longer your time to first byte (TTFB) and the slower your site loads.

Free online tools can determine where your DNS provider ranks compared to other offerings, which in turn helps pinpoint specific performance issues.

Worth noting? In some cases, your hosting provider will also supply DNS services, while in others these two functions are separate.

16. Opt for Asynchronous Loading

Many files and functions on your website are loaded synchronously by default, which means they’re loaded in the order they appear on the page — elements will only load once the script or service immediately prior is fully loaded, increasing page load times.

The good news is many CMS platforms provide built-in features or plugins to enable asynchronous loading for CSS and JavaScript elements, which allows them to load simultaneously.

17. Choose Fewer Fonts

While web fonts can help your site stand out from the crowd, they can also negatively impact performance, especially if they’re uncommon or require unique character sets.

To maximize page loading speed, use the fewest number of fonts possible, and focus on fonts that are optimized for speed. 

For example, in a study of the top 10 Google Fonts by KeyCDN, Open Sans had the lowest load time at 0.476s. 

18. Pinpoint Poor-Performing Plugins

Last but not least: identify performance-sapping plugins (also called add-ons or extensions). While plugins can offer a host of useful features to help manage your website they can also negatively impact performance, especially if they’re used to load a significant amount of assets or perform large database queries. Here, the speed rule is simple: Only keep the plugins you need and always deploy the latest, fastest versions. This is particularly important if you run a WordPress website.

For more advanced methods to optimize your WordPress website speed using Google PageSpeed Insights specifically, check out this video by Jack Cao:

19. Add Expires Headers

To speed up load times for return visitors, you can add expires headers to the .htaccess file of your site. This type of HTTP header indicates how long until cached copies of site resources expire so the browser knows whether to serve site resources from the cache or request them from the server. 

Expires headers are important for two reasons. They let your browser serve up-to-date resources from the cache, which reduces server load and load time — and they prohibit your browser from serving outdated resources to visitors, which could have hurt the user experience. 

The faster, the better.

The faster your website loads, displays content, and responds to user input, the lower your bounce rates and the higher your conversions. Here, incremental improvement is critical — while going from slow to supercharged doesn’t happen overnight, any of our 19 website optimization strategies can help jumpstart your need for speed.

Security and Performance: Key Considerations for Frontend Development Services in 2024

In 2024, companies looking to build or improve their websites and apps need to prioritize security and performance. Choosing an experienced front end development agency is crucial to get this right. By leveraging modern frameworks and following best practices, developers can create fast, responsive experiences that protect user data. As threats and technologies evolve, continuously evaluating and upgrading frontend code is essential. Partnering with experts who stay on top of industry trends allows companies to keep their digital experiences safe while delighting customers.

Security Considerations

Security should be a top priority for any front-end development services today. Implementing SSL/HTTPS across all sites and pages is now a must to encrypt connections and data. Validating and sanitizing user inputs is also critical to prevent scripts or unauthorized commands being injected into applications.

Another key area is implementing protections against common attacks like cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and cross-site scripting (XSS). These can allow attackers to steal user data or authentication details. Following security best practices like the OWASP guidelines can help mitigate these risks.

Strong authentication mechanisms and authorization controls are also vital for securing the front-end against unauthorized access. Practices like multi-factor authentication, role-based access, and use of secure tokens can make user accounts highly secure.

In addition, front-end developers must ensure proper segregation between application layers, use parameterized queries, and implement robust logging and monitoring to detect potential threats and attempted attacks against the front-end.

Performance Considerations

There are many techniques front-end developers can use to optimize performance. Minification removes extra spaces and shortens variable names to make code lighter. Concatenation combines multiple files into one to reduce HTTP requests.

Lazy loading defers non-critical components and images from loading until needed. This speeds initial page load by reducing what needs to be fetched first. Implementing caching strategies also avoids re-downloading assets on repeat views.

Critical CSS/JS extracts only the CSS/JS needed for above-the-fold content. This renders the visible page faster. Compression using gzip shrinks file sizes for faster transfers.

Performance testing tools help identify bottlenecks. Common optimizations include using CDNs, optimizing images, eliminating render blocking resources, and removing unused code.

Progressive enhancement and graceful degradation also improve performance. They ensure core content loads quickly while modern features enhance the experience on capable browsers.

Continued performance testing and optimization is key for ensuring fast, smooth front-end experiences over time.

Frontend Frameworks and Security

Modern frontend frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular all have robust security features built-in or available as plugins. While their core libraries are secure, how developers use them also impacts security.

React offers protection against common attacks like XSS and cross-site script inclusion with features like JSX encoding. Additional security addons are also available.

Vue provides cross-site scripting protection by encoding bindings and interpolations. Authentication plugins help securely manage user access.

Angular has strong CSRF defenses built-in. It also sanitizes inputs to prevent XSS. Authorization controls secure access to routes and resources.

Ember.js automatically escapes Handlebar templates to prevent XSS. It also has security addons like ember-simple-auth for authentication.

Overall, popular frameworks provide good security foundations. But developers must use them properly, add security layers, and keep them updated to leverage their benefits.

Emerging Security Trends

Security is an ongoing challenge in frontend development. As new vulnerabilities emerge, practices and tools must evolve to address them.

Some key trends gaining traction are shifting security left, DevSecOps, and automated testing. Building in security from initial design phases reduces costs and results in more secure systems. DevSecOps integrates security into development workflows for speed and quality. Automated tools help efficiently scan for and fix vulnerabilities early.

Shift left security involves developers, architects and security experts collaborating from the beginning of projects. This results in more secure foundations.

DevSecOps aims to bring security, development and operations together with shared tools, practices and culture. This enables speed without sacrificing security.

Automated scanning and testing tools at each phase quickly catch vulnerabilities without relying solely on human review.

Lightweight protection layers like web application firewalls help defend against threats without slowing performance.

AI and machine learning are being utilized for adaptive cybersecurity defense and attack prevention.

Emerging Performance Trends

Optimizing performance will remain crucial for front-end developers as user expectations grow. New metrics, protocols and patterns are emerging to help build faster experiences.

Some key trends include a focus on user-centric performance metrics like Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift. HTTP/3 and QUIC aim to speed up transfer times. PRPL and service workers cache or preload resources for snappier loading.

Core web vitals like LCP, CLS and TTI provide user-centric performance metrics beyond speed alone.

HTTP/3 with QUIC protocol features multiplexing and congestion control for faster page loads.

The PRPL pattern aims to Push critical resources, Render initial views, Pre-cache remaining assets, and Lazy-load other routes.

Service workers allow caching site assets like JavaScript, CSS, images, and HTML for instant loading on return visits.

New frameworks like Svelte aim to build high performance into components with a low-overhead design.

More bundlers and build tools now focus on optimizing assets and splitting code for lazy loading parts.

Conclusion

As frontend development continues to evolve, keeping pace with security and performance best practices will be key for agencies to deliver excellent services. By making security a priority throughout the development lifecycle, utilizing emerging DevSecOps practices, and leveraging automated testing tools, frontend code can be made highly secure. Performance should also be optimized through techniques like lazy loading, HTTP/3 adoption, and a focus on core web vitals. As new technologies and methodologies emerge, developers must stay up-to-date to balance seamless user experiences with robust security. Keeping these considerations central in 2024 and beyond will ensure frontend services provide fast, smooth, and secure experiences that users have come to expect.

If your mobile rankings have suffered recently, simply telling you to improve the mobile experience isn’t going to help you diagnose the specific problems you’re having. So, in this article, we look at nine reasons your website might not work on mobile and how to fix each issue. These are: Your site isn’t mobile responsiveYou haven’t optimised for mobile-first indexingSlow mobile pagesUnfriendly navigationPage content isn’t immediately obviousYou’re using popups / interstitialsYou haven’t optimised your CTAs for mobileClickable elements aren’t optimised for touchYour mobile forms are killing conversions With more than half of all web traffic coming from smartphones in 2018, mobile optimisation should be a priority for every brand. This is where the majority of consumer journeys now start and Google has introduced a number of algorithm updates over the years to favour websites that provide a strong mobile experience. Mobile optimisation FAQs Before we get into the specific reasons your website is struggling on mobile, let’s answer some of the most common FAQs surrounding mobile optimisation. How do I make my website mobile friendly? There are various approaches to creating a mobile friendly website but the two most common are: Responsive design: Create a single website that adapts layouts, content and element sizes to suit different display sizes.Mobile sites: Build a separate mobile website in addition to your desktop site. Responsive design is generally the recommended approach for most types of website, especially since Google has moved over to mobile-first indexing (more on this later). How do I optimise for mobile devices? This is a tricky question to answer in a short space but you’ll be getting a more in-depth answer throughout the rest of this article. For now, here’s a list of the key areas you need to optimise for the best mobile performance: Loading timesNavigationPage layoutContentElement sizes (text, images, buttons, etc.)Touch elementsWeb formsFile sizes (images, code files, etc.) Your priority is to create the best possible experience on mobile devices and it helps to focus on the limitations of these devices. You’ve got limited screen space to work with, potentially weak data connections and all users really have to navigate and interact with your site is their fingers. It pretty much comes down to visibility, navigation and speed. Why are mobile friendly websites important? With the majority of traffic now coming from mobile devices, this is where the majority of your marketing strategies are going to generate leads. The majority of consumer journeys now begin on mobile devices and poor experiences are going to kill your chances before they’ve even begun. That’s not all either. 53% of all traffic came from mobile in 2018Google rewards mobile friendly sites (and punishes the not-so-friendly)Various studies show users don’t return to a website after a bad experienceThat means poor mobile experience could cost you 53% of visitorsToday’s consumers move between multiple devices, making a consistent experience increasingly important Ask yourself how much time, money and other resources you pile into lead generation, increasing traffic and your other marketing strategies. Now, tell yourself 53% of that is wasted because you don’t have a mobile friendly website. That’s why it’s important. How much does it cost to make your website mobile friendly? Probably a lot less than not having a mobile friendly site will. Now, that we’ve covered those, here are the top nine reasons your website isn’t working on mobile. Your site isn’t mobile responsive Let’s state the obvious to begin with. The number one reason why your website might be failing to work on a mobile device is that it is simply not mobile responsive. This means the website doesn’t proportionally resize to different size screens. Responsive design isn’t the only approach to mobile optimisation but it is the one Google recommends and it makes a lot of sense from an SEO perspective (see reason There are challenges with taking the responsive route, though – especially when it comes to optimising page content for multiple screen sizes. The biggest mistake brands make is designing layouts and content for desktop and then trying to scale them down for smaller screen sizes. This isn’t going to create an intuitive experience on mobile. Instead, you need to create content with all devices in mind and consider the needs/limitations of these devices from the very beginning. This will enable you to make design choices that create a consistent, highly-optimised experience across each device. Quick tip Aim for a consistent experience across all devices so users can move from mobile to desktop and understand where everything is. Use JavaScript to only show the first sentence of large chunks of text on mobile and place a “see more” button users can click to read the full text. By using the display: none CSS property, this text remains visible to search engines but doesn’t show in the browser, allowing you to create page layouts that are perfectly scrollable on mobile. You haven’t optimised for mobile-first indexing As I say, responsive design isn’t the only approach to mobile optimisation and many brands have opted to develop separate mobile websites. The thing is, Google is changing the way it indexes web pages to reflect the fact that most searches now take place on mobile devices. Mobile-first indexing essentially means Google will now show the mobile version of a page by default, only showing desktop pages when no mobile version is present. For responsive websites, nothing really changes because the mobile and desktop versions of each page are the same. However, websites running any separate mobile pages need to optimise for the change. Here’s a quick list of what you need for mobile-first indexing: Your mobile and desktop pages contain the same contentBoth versions of your page have the necessary structured dataBoth versions of your page have the necessary metadataBoth versions of your page are verified in Search ConsoleAny rel=hreflang tags for internationalisation include separate links for mobile and desktop URLsYour servers can handle any increase in crawl rate for the mobile version of your siteYour robot.txt directives are the same (and optimised) for both desktop and mobile versionsCorrect use of rel=canonical and rel=alternate link elements between mobile and desktop versions Mobile-first indexing is still rolling out and you should have received a notification from Google in Search Console if your site has already been moved over. Don’t wait until your site is moved over to take action, though, because this will affect pages that are poorly optimised for mobile. Quick tip Although mobile-first indexing will apply to your entire website, any ranking changes will happen on a page-by-page basis. So start by optimising the most important pages on your site and work from there. For more information on mobile-first indexing, take a look at our previous posts: Mobile-first indexing: What does it mean for SEO?Google wants to clear up some mobile-first indexing confusionThe latest on mobile-first indexing Slow mobile pages Despite all of the research showing how slow loading times kill conversion rates, the vast majority of website fail to deliver this performance essential. In fact, Google’s own research suggests the average web page takes 15 seconds to load on mobile. The recommended best practice is no more than 3 seconds.             Source As of July 2018, mobile loading times are now a ranking factor which means slow loading times can hurt your position in the mobile SERPs. However, slow loading times also negatively impact multiple other signals that Google uses to determine where your pages should rank: bounce rates, time spent on page, pages visited, etc. More importantly, slow loading times kill your conversion rates and just about every other KPI in your marketing strategy. Quick tip Work with agencies/developers that make page speed a priority because this is one of the most important performance factors for the end user. If you’re using a WordPress website, take it easy on the plugins, optimise your images and files (CSS, JS, etc.) and use speed optimisation tools like Google’s free PageSpeed Insights. Unfriendly navigation The menu is one of the most important, if not the most important thing on a website. Small websites have quite a simple job, with the desktop menu being easily duplicated on the mobile version of the website. Large sites however can have difficulties. Some menus display many pages going up to third tier navigation levels. If this is transferred across to the mobile site there is the potential that the user will spend a long time scrolling through the vertical menu trying to find the right page. If you amend the mobile menu to only include top level pages you may be able to keep users on your pages, but they might be missing out on valuable information from the lower level pages. Quick tip Create a menu that works on a desktop and then try other ways of integrating the lower level pages on the main page to let users navigate to find out more if they choose to do so. Page content isn’t immediately obvious Scaling is always an issue with a responsive website and getting it to scale correctly whilst showing the correct information can be the difference between engaging the user and the user leaving your website. Having a logo, menu, slider and breadcrumbs before the content can look great on a desktop. When this is scaled down, the user may need to scroll a lot before they actually get to the page content. This has other issues as well if your pages all have the same header, with the user thinking that the page didn’t even change. Quick tip Test, test and test again. Mobile sites should be simple for the user to use and do not require all the flashy gimmicks of the desktop site to succeed. You’re using popups / interstitials Many websites use overlays or interstitials to promote the brands app, get a user to sign up to their newsletters or give special offers. When these are displayed on a mobile device they tend to have a negative effect on the user experience, causing frustration. Quick tip Use a banner instead to promote your content on a mobile device. You haven’t optimised your CTAs for mobile Optimising your website’s layouts for mobile devices is great but your success is going to be short-lived if your CTAs aren’t getting results on mobile. The effectiveness of your calls to action will depend on how you optimise the content surrounding them, their visibility on mobile, where you place them on the page and all kinds of other factors. Don’t assume your CTAs are going to perform on mobile just because they’ve been getting results on desktop. Quick tip Effective mobile CTAs need to be incredibly concise and so does the rest of your page content. Remember that text is going to bunch up on mobile displays, pushing your CTAs further down the page and forcing users to scroll further to reach them. Make sure you hammer home the key benefits of your offer using the appropriate headings and don’t be afraid to add extra CTAs for mobile displays. Clickable elements aren’t optimised for touch This is something else a lot of brands overlook while optimising for mobile. If you want people to actually interact with your website, you need to optimise for touch. Navigation menus, CTA buttons, web forms, media players and just about everything that turns casual browsers into potential customers revolves around touch gestures. Above all, make sure touch elements are large enough to interact with (padding is your best friend). Don’t try squeezing too many touch elements into a small space because people are only going to end up hitting the wrong thing. Also, make sure users can still see all the content they need to when touch elements pop up on the screen. For example, don’t leave people typing blind because their device’s native keyword has covered up the text field they’re trying to interact with. Quick tip Find the largest set of thumbs you possibly can to thoroughly test your website on mobile; they’ll soon find any potential issues. Your mobile forms are killing conversions Frustrating web forms can be the bane of users searching on a desktop. When this experience is switched to a mobile device it can be the difference between missing out on a lead to a competitor, or making the sale yourself. First of all, make sure you’re building your web forms with the correct HTML5 code so the relevant keyboard pops up for messages, email addresses, numbers, etc. Stick to single column layouts and, once again, use plenty of padding on every element so they’re nicely optimised for touch. Always remember how much of a pain typing on mobile is. Enable auto-complete and stick to the minimum number of fields necessary to reduce users’ workload. Quick tip Don’t make your form validation too strict; the aim is to help users complete your forms, not prevent them from submitting information. Useful tools There are a few things you can do/tools you can use to test the mobile-friendliness of your website: Check in Google Search Console for messages which would have arrived in March 2015, alerting you to ‘fix mobile usability issues’Google’s Mobile Friendly Tester – https://www.google.co.uk/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/Google Page Speed Insights – https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ Finally your own mobile phone is always a good indicator.
