Currently, our application's page load times are longer than desired, which can result in a suboptimal user experience. To address this issue, we need to implement a performance optimization technique by utilizing the compression-webpack-plugin. This plugin will enable us to compress our assets, such as JavaScript and CSS files, during the build process, reducing their size and improving page load times.
Task
Install and configure the compression-webpack-plugin in our project.
Update the webpack configuration to enable asset compression using the plugin.
Test the application's build process to ensure that assets are being compressed successfully.
Verify the impact of the compression on page load times using performance testing tools.
Monitor and compare the page load times before and after the implementation of compression-webpack-plugin.
Document the configuration changes and their impact on performance in the project's documentation or performance optimization guide.
Why is this important?
Improving the performance and reducing page load times is crucial for providing a better user experience. Faster loading pages not only enhance user satisfaction but also contribute to higher engagement and conversion rates. By implementing compression-webpack-plugin, we can significantly reduce the size of our assets and improve the overall performance of our application.
Acceptance Criteria
The compression-webpack-plugin is successfully installed and configured in the project.
Assets, such as JavaScript and CSS files, are compressed during the build process.
The impact of asset compression on page load times is measured and compared using performance testing tools.
The page load times demonstrate a noticeable improvement after implementing compression-webpack-plugin.
The configuration changes and their impact on performance are documented in the project's documentation or performance optimization guide.
