dev log 2

The last 30-day devlog was fun, but my main goal there was not being consistent every day but to get to day 30 and learn 30 new things. This time I want to take it a notch up by trying to be consistent for 30 days and also learn newer things over next 30 days.

day 1:

learning about frontend web performance was sitting in my to learn list for a very long time and I do have my personal site up and running with content constantly added into it so I started to learn how to improve my static site performance to. got to know about unlighthouse (lighthouse for your entire site) ran that to see our baseline lighthouse performance is roughly about 80%

unlighthouse score

To do any of these I need to learn the bits and bytes of web performance, so I started off with understanding HTML performance considerations like ETAG, last-modified, max-age=n, Brotli compression over gzip, and static and dynamic compression. I also learnt about the critical path as well as understanding render blocking vs parser blocking.
