<p>Производительность в web - это объективные измерения и пользовательские ощущения, связанные с загрузкой и работой приложения. Производительность - это о том, как долго сайт грузится, становится интерактивным и отзывчивым, о том, как плавно происходит взаимодействие с контентом. Плавный ли скролл страницы? Все ли кнопки кликабельны? Всплывающие окна загружаются и показываются быстро? А анимируются? Хорошая производительность требует учёта всех аспектов: как объективных, например, фактическое время загрузки страницы или частота смены кадров; так и субъективных - в буквальном смысле "как пользователь воспринимает систему".</p>

<p>Чем дольше загружается ваше приложение, тем больше пользователей решаются избавиться от него. Очень важно уменьшать время загрузки приложения, а так же промежутка времени, за которое оно становится интерактивным. Но в то же время, важно добавлять в приложение новые возможности, которые уменьшают время отклика и делают приложение интерактивным за счёт неочевидных хитростей, например, за счёт асинхронной загрузки данных, которые не понадобятся пользователю "здесь и сейчас". </p>

<p>Существуют инструменты измерения производительности, API и лучшие практики, которые помогут нам измерять и улучшать производительность. Мы постараемся раскрыть их в следующей секции:</p>

 <dd>Overview of the web performance learning path. Start your journey here.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/What_is_web_performance">What is web performance?</a></dt>
 <dd>This article starts the module off with a good look at what performance actually is — this includes the tools, metrics, APIs, networks, and groups of people we need to consider when thinking about performance, and how we can make performance part of our web development workflow.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/Perceived_performance">How do users perceive performance?</a></dt>
 <dd>
 <p>More important than how fast your website is in milliseconds, is how fast your users perceive your site to be. These perceptions are impacted by actual p<span>age load time, idling, responsiveness to user interaction, and the smoothness of scrolling and other animations. In this article, we discuss the various loading metrics, animation, and responsiveness metrics, along with best practices to improve user perception, if not the actual timings.</span></p>

 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/Web_Performance_Basics">Web performance basics</a></dt>
 <dd>In addition to the front end components of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and media files, there are features that can make applications slower and features that can make applications subjectively and objectively faster. There are many APIs, developer tools, best practices, and bad practices relating to web performance. Here we'll introduce many of these features ad the basic level and provide links to deeper dives to improve performance for each topic.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/HTML">HTML performance features</a></dt>
 <dd>Some attributes and the source order of your mark-up can impact the performance or your website. By minimizing the number of DOM nodes, making sure the best order and attributes are used for including content such as styles, scripts, media, and third-party scripts, you can drastically improve the user experience. This article looks in detail at how HTML can be used to ensure maximum performance.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/Multimedia">Multimedia: images and video</a></dt>
 <dd>The lowest hanging fruit of web performance is often media optimization. Serving different media files based on each user agent's capability, size, and pixel density is possible. Additional tips like removing audio tracks from background videos can improve performance even further. In this article we discuss the impact video, audio, and image content has on performance, and the methods to ensure that impact is as minimal as possible.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/CSS">CSS performance features</a></dt>
 <dd>CSS may be a less important optimization focus for improved performance, but there are some CSS features that impact performance more than others. In this article we look at some CSS properties that impact performance and suggested ways of handling styles to ensure performance is not negatively impacted.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/JavaScript">JavaScript performance best practices</a></dt>
 <dd>JavaScript, when used properly, can allow for interactive and immersive web experiences — or it can significantly harm download time, render time, in-app performance, battery life, and user experience. This article outlines some JavaScript best practices that should be considered to ensure even complex content is as performant as possible.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Performance/Mobile">Mobile performance</a></dt>
 <dd>With web access on mobile devices being so popular, and all mobile platforms having fully-fledged web browsers, but possibly limited bandwidth, CPU and battery life, it is important to consider the performance of your web content on these platforms. This article looks at mobile-specific performance considerations.</dd>

 <dt>Web font performance</dt>
 <dd>An often overlooked aspect of performance landscape are web fonts. Web fonts are more prominent in web design than ever, yet many developers simply embed them from a third party service and think nothing of it. In this article, we'll covers methods for getting your font files as small as possible with efficient file formats and sub setting. From there, we'll go on to talk about how browsers text, and how you can use CSS and JavaScript features to ensure your fonts render quickly, and with minimal disruption to the user experience.</dd>

 <dt>The role of TLS in performance</dt>
 <dd>
 <p>TLS—or HTTPS as we tend to call it—is crucial in creating secure and safe user experiences. While hardware has reduced the negative impacts TLS has had on server performance, it still represents a substantial slice of the time we spend waiting for browsers to connect to servers. This article explains the TLS handshake process, and offers some tips for reducing this time, such as OCSP stapling, HSTS preload headers, and the potential role of resource hints in masking TLS latency for third parties.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>Reading performance charts</dt>
 <dd>Developer tools provide information on performance, memory, and network requests. Knowing how to read <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Performance/Waterfall">waterfall</a> charts, <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Performance/Call_Tree">call trees</a>, traces, <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Performance/Flame_Chart">flame charts</a> , and <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Performance/Allocations">allocations</a> in your browser developer tools will help you understand waterfall and flame charts in other performance tools.</dd>
 <dt>Alternative media formats</dt>
 <dd>When it comes to images and videos, there are more formats than you're likely aware of. Some of these formats can take your highly optimized media-rich pages even further by offering additional reductions in file size. In this guide we'll discuss some alternative media formats, how to use them responsibly so that non-supporting browsers don't get left out in the cold, and some advanced guidance on transcoding your existing assets to them.</dd>
 <dt>Analyzing JavaScript bundles</dt>
 <dd>No doubt, JavaScript is a big part of modern web development. While you should always strive to reduce the amount of JavaScript you use in your applications, it can be difficult to know where to start. <span class="veryhardreadability"><span><span>In this guide, we'll show you how to analyze your application's script bundles, so you know </span></span><em><span>what</span></em><span><span> you're using, as well how to detect if your app contains duplicated scripts between bundles</span></span></span><span><span>.</span></span></dd>
 <dt><a href="/ru/docs/Web/Performance/Lazy_loading">Lazy loading</a></dt>
 <dd>Lazy loading (ленивая загрузка) - это стратегия, направленная на определение ресурсов как неблокирующих (не критических) для того, чтобы отложить загрузку этих ресурсов на тот момент, когда они действительно необходимы.</dd>
 <dt>Lazy-loading JavaScript with dynamic imports</dt>
 <dd>When developers hear the term "lazy loading", they immediately think of below-the-fold imagery that loads when it scrolls into the viewport. But did you know you can lazy load JavaScript as well? In this guide we'll talk about the dynamic import() statement, which is a feature in modern browsers that loads a JavaScript module on demand. Of course, since this feature isn't available everywhere, we'll also show you how you can configure your tooling to use this feature in a widely compatible fashion.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Performance/Controlling_resource_delivery_with_resource_hints">Controlling resource delivery with resource hints</a></dt>
 <dd>Browsers often know better than we do when it comes to resource prioritization and delivery however they're far from clairyovant. Native browser features enable us to hint to the browser when it should connect to another server, or preload a resource before the browser knows it ever needs it. When used judiciously, this can make fast experience seem even faster. In this article, we cover native browser features like rel=preconnect, rel=dns-prefetch, rel=prefetch, and rel=preload, and how to use them to your advantage.</dd>
 <dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Performance/Performance_budgets">Performance Budgets</a></dt>
 <dd>Marketing, design, and sales needs, and developer experience, often ad bloat, third-party scripts, and other features that can slow down web performance. To help set priorities, it is helpful to set a performance budget: a set of restrictions to not exceed during the development phase. In this article, we'll discuss creating and sticking to a performance budget. </dd>
