The first two seconds: Faster page loads with React
summary
ABC rebuilds major news sites with server-side rendering plus heavy CDN caching and a small bootstrap script that loads above-the-fold images via an intersection observer. They split modern and legacy bundles, use loadable-components for safe code-splitting, and prepare for progressive hydration. Audit shows two thirds of JS comes from third parties and under 10% of views hit origin. Measured gains are 30–50% faster first contentful paint and visually complete, ~40% less JS time and ~50% less main-thread blocking.
