HillaryClinton.com Performance Audit
There are many ways that every site can improve it's performance. In an ever-growing internet, where the average page size just surpassed 2MB, performance is becoming more and more key to a successful site.
To that goal, I put together a performance audit of Hillary Clinton’s campaign site, and put together a list of suggestions. I chose this site as it is a high-traffic site that will be getting more traffic as the election gets closer— not for any political affiliation or goals.
For the review, I mainly used Chrome Canary, but also utilized Web Page Test and Page Speed Insights. One of the features I finally enabled in Chrome for a better visual view of the page load is the filmstrip view. To enable it yourself, follow these steps:
- Go to
chrome://flags/
in Google Chrome - Enable "Developer Tools experiments", restart the browser
- Go to the settings pane within the Developer Tools (the gear icon)
- Click "Experiments" in the left-hand navigation
- Press the shift key 6 times
- Enable "Filmstrip in Network and Timeline Panel"
- Restart the Developer Tools, and then click the camera icon on the top-left.
