Google explains practical wins: use HTTP chunking to send the static chrome first and overlap a 250 ms backend search, cutting perceived latency by about 10% on typical links; minimize connections with sprites and bundled, gzipped, minified JS; cache images/JS to a 90% cache hit rate; defer nonessential script loading; and implement a fragment/iframe-based client that recycles the static chrome (called soft transitions), shaving up to ~500 ms on slow links and reducing HTML payloads to 4–10 KB.
