Course Overview
Over 4 hours, learn web performance and how to improve loading speed by optimising HTML, CSS, JavaScript and more!
The web needs more developers who understand web performance.
On today’s web, having a fast loading website is a priority. It’s an important part of everything from reducing bounce rates to improving search engine optimisation to even increasing the big one - conversions!
In “Building Faster Websites: Getting Started with Web Performance”, across 41 lectures totalling nearly 4 hours long, you’ll learn how to do just that, build websites which load faster and thus perform better.
Starting from scratch, we’ll cover a variety of theory based topics teaching you why loading performance matters, how to measure it and what tools to use. Next, we'll jump into a practical segment where we’ll implement best practice performance optimisation techniques on a dummy website’s HTML, CSS, JavaScript and more - taking it from a Google Lighthouse performance score of 12 all the way to 100!
No prior knowledge of web performance or loading performance optimisation is required, and with the knowledge and performance optimisation experience you'll gain from this course, you'll be able to deliver much more value to your clients or your employer.
If you're a web developer looking to expand your knowledge or even take the next step in your career, then front-end loading performance is a worthy specialisation to explore.

It was an excellent choice. Maybe I will repeat it after practicing a bit, because there are many details and some of them may slip my mind, although I have taken notes.

video's more of the part is on analysis and data chart, But you need to make more focus on how to solve the problems.

The accent was a little difficult to understand but I don't blame the person for this.... Overall the content of the video was very helpful and informative.

Super clear explanations and easy to follow. Really useful information! The audio is a bit low in volume. There were some problems to figure out with the code, as there were some other changes made on the code that aren't shown in the videos. But it could be salvaged downloading the source code.
