Day 18 Hour 3-4: Implementing Performance Optimisations

After a comprehensive understanding of performance optimisation techniques in the previous session, it's now time to put that knowledge into action. This session will be a hands-on, practical session where you'll be implementing the optimisations on your project's web application. Here's what you can expect from this session:

Understanding Your Application's Performance: Using web performance tools, we'll start by evaluating the current performance of your Softr web application. This gives us a baseline against which we can measure any improvements.

Identifying Bottlenecks: With your team, you will investigate areas of your application that may be causing slowdowns. These bottlenecks could be large media files, unoptimised CSS or JavaScript, inefficient data fetching, among other things.

Implementing Optimisations: Armed with this knowledge, you will begin applying the performance optimisations discussed earlier. This could involve compressing media files, minifying your CSS and JavaScript, implementing browser caching, or setting up a Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Performance Testing: After implementing these changes, you'll test your application's performance again to see the impact of your optimisations. This will involve using the same web performance tools as before to measure load times and other key metrics.

Iteration and Further Improvements: Performance optimisation is an iterative process. Based on the results of your testing, you'll identify additional areas for improvement and continue the process of optimising, testing, and refining.

By the end of this session, you should be able to effectively identify performance bottlenecks in your web applications and apply appropriate optimisation techniques. The goal is not just a faster web application, but a more profound understanding of the impact of performance on user experience and overall application quality.
