Perf Web Optimization

tech-leads-club/perf-web-optimization

Optimize web performance: bundle size, images, caching, lazy loading, and overall page speed. Use when site is slow, reducing bundle size, fixing layout shifts, improving Time to Interactive, or optimizing for Lighthouse scores. Triggers on: web performance, bundle size, page speed, slow site, lazy loading. Do NOT use for Core Web Vitals-specific fixes (use core-web-vitals), running Lighthouse audits (use perf-lighthouse), or Astro-specific optimization (use perf-astro).

Web Performance Optimization

Systematic approach: Measure → Identify → Prioritize → Implement → Verify.

Target Metrics

| Metric | Good | Needs Work | Poor |

| ------ | ------- | ---------- | ------- |

| LCP | < 2.5s | 2.5-4s | > 4s |

| INP | < 200ms | 200-500ms | > 500ms |

| CLS | < 0.1 | 0.1-0.25 | > 0.25 |

| TTFB | < 800ms | 800ms-1.8s | > 1.8s |

Quick Wins

1. Images (usually biggest impact on LCP)

<!-- Hero/LCP image: eager + high priority -->
<img src="/hero.webp" alt="Hero" width="1200" height="600" loading="eager" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" />

<!-- Below fold: lazy load -->
<img src="/product.webp" alt="Product" width="400" height="300" loading="lazy" decoding="async" />

Always set width and height to prevent CLS.

2. Fonts (common LCP/CLS culprit)

<!-- Preconnect to font origin -->
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin />

<!-- Non-blocking font load -->
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter&display=swap"
  media="print"
  onload="this.media='all'"
/>

3. Third-party Scripts (common INP killer)

<!-- Defer to user interaction -->
<script>
  function loadThirdParty() {
    // Load analytics, chat widgets, etc.
  }
  ;['scroll', 'click', 'touchstart'].forEach((e) => addEventListener(e, loadThirdParty, { once: true, passive: true }))
  setTimeout(loadThirdParty, 5000)
</script>

4. Critical CSS

Inline critical CSS in <head>, defer the rest:

<style>
  /* critical styles */
</style>
<link rel="preload" href="/styles.css" as="style" onload="this.rel='stylesheet'" />

Bundle Analysis

# Webpack
npx webpack-bundle-analyzer dist/stats.json

# Vite
npx vite-bundle-visualizer

# Check package size before installing
npx bundlephobia <package-name>

Common heavy packages to replace:

  • moment (67KB) → date-fns (12KB) or dayjs (2KB)
  • lodash (72KB) → cherry-pick imports or native methods

Code Splitting Patterns

// React lazy
const Chart = lazy(() => import('./Chart'))

// Next.js dynamic
const Admin = dynamic(() => import('./Admin'), { ssr: false })

// Vite/Rollup manual chunks
build: {
  rollupOptions: {
    output: {
      manualChunks: {
        vendor: ['react', 'react-dom']
      }
    }
  }
}

Caching Headers

# Static assets (immutable hash in filename)
Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable

# HTML (revalidate)
Cache-Control: no-cache

# API responses
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate

Measurement

For running audits, reading reports, and setting budgets, use the perf-lighthouse skill.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take tech-leads-club/perf-web-optimization from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
