Building Web Apps That Don’t Suck
summary
Users demand data instantly so focus on measurable fixes: minify JS/CSS with uglifyjs / babel-minify and concatenate to cut HTTP requests, gzip responses and set cache headers to lower TTFB and cloud costs, serve photos as JPEG and screenshots as PNG and run imagemin/ShortPixel to drop megabytes to kilobytes. Run Lighthouse or webhint (one site showed 229 issues), run npm audit or Snyk for dependencies, write mocha tests, use strict mode, defer noncritical scripts to the page bottom.
