Speed is a feature. This unit covers the full spectrum of web performance optimisation: frontend techniques (bundling, lazy loading, code splitting, image optimisation), backend strategies (database indexing, connection pooling, caching), and measurement tools (Lighthouse, Web Vitals, profiling).

Unit Learning Outcomes

• Measure and analyse performance using Lighthouse and Web Vitals.
• Implement frontend optimisations (code splitting, lazy loading, tree shaking).
• Optimise images, fonts, and static assets with modern formats.
• Apply backend performance techniques (caching, connection pooling).
• Profile and optimise database queries.
