Training Spotlight: Frontend Performance Training
Mobile device usage is surging as people use them to read content, shop online, and find information on the go. Users are proven to be happier and more willing to spend time and money on your site when it loads fast and responds quickly to their actions. Adding performance to the ever-growing list of project responsibilities can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be.
In this full-day training, we will address every step in the process of improving frontend performance: auditing a site for problems, creating an effective solution, testing sites to ensure that the work was successful, and implementing automation tools that prevent regressions from creeping back into the codebase. Additionally, we will offer tools and suggestions to help your organization adopt a culture of performance, boosting its visibility in discussions and allowing your team to expose performance problems earlier in the development cycle, long before launch.
Web developers will learn how to build performant sites from the start, while balancing other project needs such as design and business requirements. Tech leads or managers can walk away with numerous ideas for implementing standard workflows across projects, teams, or departments.
