Web applications are a crucial part of many businesses, from e-commerce sites to customer service systems as well as tools for managing content. When they are slow to load or not responsive, it can be frustrating for users. According to Google’s research, a single second delay in loading can result in a loss of conversions on a site or mobile application. And if you have an e-commerce site, customers will leave in the space of a few seconds, when their shopping carts and checkout pages aren’t loaded quickly enough.

As the development and deployment of web-based apps is constantly evolving and evolve, optimizing them for efficiency is more difficult than ever. In this article, we’ll break down the most important concepts you must understand in order to improve your web app performance. We’ll also discuss some of the biggest culprits in web performance – the things that can stop your apps running smoothly.

The key to enhancing performance is understanding the user’s perspective. This involves real-user monitoring in order to determine how your app performs and what’s lacking in comparison to what you think it should be doing.

An excellent way to accomplish this is to leverage tools such as Chrome Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights. These tools offer a quick snapshot of the performance of your web application on the devices of your customers, along with suggestions for improvement. Another method of improving the performance of your web application is to cut down on the size of downloads and bandwidth consumption. GZIP compression of text-based resources and minifying images, as well as CSS and JavaScript features like async/defer can all be helpful.
