1.1 From Functional to Excellent: The Evolution of Performance Optimization1.1 From Functional to Excellent: The Evolution of Performance Optimization

Web pages ten years ago were extremely simple — a single page might be just a few KB, and loading speed was virtually instant. Back then, we didn't need to consider performance optimization at all — because the problem hadn't appeared yet.Web pages ten years ago were extremely simple — a single page might be just a few KB, and loading speed was virtually instant. Back then, we didn't need to consider performance optimization at all — because the problem hadn't appeared yet.

But things are completely different now. Modern web page complexity has grown exponentially: an e-commerce homepage might have dozens of high-resolution images, a social platform might load thousands of posts simultaneously, and an admin dashboard might contain dozens of interactive components. Behind these "rich" features lie massive codebases and resource sizes — without proper optimization, the user experience will be terrible.But things are completely different now.

2.2 Loading: Ingredient Transport2.2 Loading: Ingredient Transport

Loading is the process of downloading all the resources a webpage needs (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, etc.) from the server to the browser. This process is like transporting ingredients from a warehouse to the kitchen — if transport is slow or there are too many ingredients, the kitchen just has to wait.Loading is the process of downloading all the resources a webpage needs (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, etc.) from the server to the browser. This process is like transporting ingredients from a warehouse to the kitchen — if transport is slow or there are too many ingredients, the kitchen just has to wait.

Why is loading slow? There are three main reasons: first, resource size is too large — a single uncompressed high-resolution image might be 5MB, equivalent to downloading a novel; second, network latency — if the server is overseas or the user is on a mobile network, every request takes a long time; finally, too many requests — browsers have a limit on simultaneous downloads, so too many resources have to queue up.Why is loading slow?

2.3 Rendering: Chef Cooking2.3 Rendering: Chef Cooking

Rendering is the process of converting downloaded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into a page the user can see. This process is like a chef processing ingredients into dishes — if the process is complex with many steps, serving will be slow.Rendering is the process of converting downloaded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into a page the user can see. This process is like a chef processing ingredients into dishes — if the process is complex with many steps, serving will be slow.

Why is rendering slow? There are two main reasons: first, the page is too complex — if a page has tens of thousands of DOM nodes, the browser's layout calculation and painting will be very time-consuming; second, frequent page modifications — if JavaScript code frequently modifies the DOM, it causes the browser to repeatedly recalculate layout and repaint, consuming significant performance.Why is rendering slow?

Interaction is the process of the browser responding to user actions (clicks, scrolls, input, etc.).

Why does interaction lag? The main reason is the main thread is blocked.
