  10. @jamesmcnulty “In the past we've recommended performance metrics like First Meaningful Paint (FMP) and Speed Index (SI) to help capture more of the loading experience after the initial paint,” “but these metrics are complex, hard to explain, and often wrong — meaning they still do not identify when the main content of the page has loaded.” Source - Phil Walton (Engineer at Google) August, 2019

  15. @jamesmcnulty Measure Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) 1. Go to http://webpagetest.org/ 2. Advanced Settings > Chromium 3. Enable layoutShift API, by adding the following to the Command-Line field: --enable-blink- features=LayoutInstabilityAPI
  16. @jamesmcnulty Measuring Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) [CumulativeLayoutShift] return new Promise(resolve => { var CLS = 0; new PerformanceObserver(list => { list.getEntries().forEach(entry => { if (entry.hadRecentInput) return; CLS += entry.value; }); resolve(CLS); }).observe({type: "layout-shift", buffered: true}); }); 4. Advanced Settings > Custom 5. Add this script to Custom Metrics:

  24. @jamesmcnulty Google decides the crawl priority of pages based on site popularity, content freshness, and server resources. Source - Kazushi Nagayama Former Google Search Quality Analyst Crawling “Google needs to make good predictions on how much load the host can tolerate, and decide how fast it crawls the site”
  25. @jamesmcnulty ● Just like crawl budget, Google uses signals to compute priorities for rendering. In this case, the most important ones are the popularity of the site, and the number of URLs that need rendering. ● If you have a page that runs lots of JavaScript, it may eventually be considered unrenderable. ● Excessive CPU consumption negatively impacts indexing Source - Kazushi Nagayama Former Google Search Quality Analyst Rendering

  34. @jamesmcnulty “Of all the data we captured, the TTFB metric had the strongest correlation effect, implying a high likelihood of some level of influence on search ranking.” Source - Billy Hoffman (Founder and CTO at Zoompf)

  54. @jamesmcnulty Where To Start 1. Focus on the Critical Rendering Path. Make fewer requests for smaller resources. ○ Optimize the delivery of render-blocking CSS and JavaScript resources ○ Prioritize visible content 2. Reduce your server response time (improve TTFB) ○ Use a CDN (e.g. Cloudflare) ○ Enable Gzip / compression (Check your site) ○ Leverage browser caching ○ Enable Keep-alive ○ Is My Host Fast Yet? by Rick Viscomi 3. Find and resolve redundant internal redirects and redirect chains
  55. @jamesmcnulty Resolve Redundant Redirects ● Each redirect adds latency to the overall page load time. ● Google will follow up to five redirect hops, then stop and treat the original URL as a 404 error. 1. http://www.mysite.com/pricing 2. http://mysite.com/pricing 3. https://mysite.com/pricing 4. https://mysite.com/plans 5. https://mysite.com/plans/ Source

Editor's Notes

  1. How browsers schedule and execute scripts can impact the performance of web pages. While techniques like <script defer>, <link rel=preload> (and others) influence script loading, knowing how browsers interpret them can also be helpful.
