My Topic: Optimizing performance of a Strapi-powered website or application

Abstract: This article discusses the importance of performance optimization for Strapi-powered websites and applications and provides an overview of the key areas to focus on for performance optimization. It covers techniques for optimizing server-side performance, such as using a reverse proxy, caching, and connection pooling, as well as strategies for optimizing frontend performance, such as reducing the size and number of assets loaded, improving perceived performance, and handling images and media assets. Additionally, it gives an overview of tools and techniques for monitoring and measuring performance, setting performance goals, and provides the best practices to follow in order to have a fast and efficient Strapi-powered website or application.

@Taofiqq Sounds good. You can start working on this.

Hey @Taofiqq If possible please add stuff on securing your server, performing updates, and server-based caching for optimizing your server. And on the frontend, please include stuff on CDNs, DPR (Distributed Persistent Rendering), and/or ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration, immutable deploys, and atomic deploys for optimizing performance.

[PaulBratslavsky]

@Marktawa hey, sounds like a great idea, but for a whole new separate article otherwise, it will be too much.

[Marktawa]

Hey @PaulBratslavsky Can I write a separate article that covers these points?

[Taofiqq]

Hey @PaulBratslavsky

Kindly find the link for the dropbox paper doc attached: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c9ikzzneqlontqvnj5cst/Untitled.paper?dl=0&rlkey=lhufmidb8ag5owe77by91xzym
