Task 4 - Web Scrapper

Building a new website or web application from scratch can be challenging. Developers typically consider two main types of rendering: server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side rendering (CSR). These approaches determine how and where the...

How Does Lazy Loading Work in Web Development? Lazy loading delays the loading of non-critical resources until they are needed. This improves page load times. Example: Images with loading="lazy" only load when they appear in the viewport. <img src="image.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Lazy-loaded image">

While websites aren't made out of thin air, with the right web developer you might be able to have your website have a more atmospheric vibe. @NathanHale #HaleCreative Image generated in Rubbrband , animated in Comfy with SVD_IMG2VID, Interpolated with FlowFrames #Rubbrband #Flux #Website #LandingPage #WebDesign #Comfy #ComfyUI #SVD #FlowFrames

𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐈𝐏 𝐓𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘! 💡 Caching can significantly improve website loading speed. Using browser caching mechanisms, static assets like images, JavaScript files, and CSS are stored locally on a user's device. This reduces the data your server needs to send on subsequent visits, leading to a faster and smoother user experience.

### Day 84: Tricky Hint for Front-End Developers 🖼️ **Front-End Dev Tip** 🖼️ Boost image load times with `loading="lazy"` on `<img>` tags to delay loading images until they’re in view. This can significantly improve page load speed, especially for pages with many images. Load only what you need, when you need it! 🚀 #Frontend #WebDevelopment #HTML #PerformanceOptimization #CodingTips Learn more about lazy loading images in this [MDN Web Docs article](https://lnkd.in/ebj63rip).

Next.js utilizes a file-based routing system, where the structure of the pages directory defines the routes of the application. Each file in pages corresponds to a route, enabling easy creation of static and dynamic pages. Static routes map directly to file names, while dynamic routes use square brackets, like [id].js, for parameterized paths. Nested routes are created by placing files in subdirectories. This system simplifies route management and supports server-side rendering, static generation, and client-side navigation out of the box, making it ideal for building performant web applications.

Can you improve your website's load time using the new Speculation Rules API? Or is this just speculation? Second-guessing where users will navigate may seem like a shot in the dark, but if you make educated guesses based on real navigational data, it can be very effective, especially if you have a slow host. But first, what is the Speculation Rules API? It's an easy way for your website to tell the browser to either prefetch or prerender another page, based on the assumption that the user is likely to go there next. Prefetching means that the HTML document is loaded into the browser cache, and prerendering means that the entire page is loaded into a hidden tab, along with all its images, fonts, stylesheets, and evens runs (some) JavaScript. Navigating to a prerendered page almost instantly shows you the fully rendered page. This all sounds brilliant, but what's the catch? Well, with great power comes great responsibility. Prefetching or prerendering too many pages from your website can indeed yield a faster load time, but it requires a lot of network bandwidth and CPU cycles (especially prerendering) on the client device. So please don't prefetch your whole sitemap. Okay then, but where to start? An idea could be to use heatmapping software like Mouseflow to see where users click. In a navigation menu, the user may have a high likelyhood of going to the next menu item. If there's a page called Pricing, maybe it's a good idea to include that. Have you used Speculation Rules, and what are your thoughts and experience with it? Me in a speculative mood. #webperf #speculation #WebOptimization #SpeculationRulesAPI

1. SSR (Server-Side Rendering) Server-Side Rendering, or SSR, is a technique that involves rendering web pages on the server and then sending the fully-rendered HTML page to the client's browser. 2. CSR (Client-Side Rendering) Client-Side Rendering, or CSR, is a technique where web pages are initially delivered as empty HTML shells to the browser. The client-side JavaScript then dynamically fetches data and renders the page in the browser. 3. ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) Incremental Static Regeneration, or ISR, is a hybrid approach that combines the benefits of SSR and SSG. It allows for the partial regeneration of static pages at build time and runtime. 4. SSG (Static Site Generation) Static Site Generation, or SSG, is a technique where web pages are generated at build time and serve as plain HTML files. SSG is the most straightforward method: Understanding SSR, CSR, ISR, and SSG is crucial for making informed decisions in web development. Each approach has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice depends on your project's specific requirements. By leveraging these techniques effectively, you can create web applications that offer the best possible user experience and performance.

Want to enhance your Backbone.js applications for quicker load times and smoother user experiences? 🚀 Here’s a concise summary of essential performance optimization strategies: - Speed Up Data Handling: * Use lazy loading for large datasets. * Add caching to minimize network requests. * Optimize model validation with hasChanged and changedAttributes. - Enhance View Rendering: * Batch DOM updates using document.createDocumentFragment. * Cache templates to avoid repeated parsing. * Incorporate virtual DOM techniques for efficient rendering. - Prevent Memory Leaks: * Employ listenTo for event binding and automatic cleanup. * Unbind events and clear references with a dispose method. - Advanced Optimizations: * Split code into smaller chunks with RequireJS or Webpack. * Offload heavy tasks to Web Workers for a smoother UI. * Debounce network requests to prevent server flooding. - Monitor Performance: * Utilize Chrome DevTools to profile rendering and network usage. * Track slow operations with custom performance markers.
