The Magento 2 Speed Optimization extension significantly increases your Google Page Speed score, just by installing and configuring the module. This is achieved by implementing a series of improvements like reducing the number of server requests in an efficient way through the following optimizations:
- Magento 2 Advanced Bundling implementation
- Moving JS files to the bottom of the page
- Preloading CSS files
Magento 2 Advanced Bundling
When using default magento bundling, your site will end up with fewer requests but this process is quite inefficient because it takes all your JS files and bundle the into one big JS file that is loaded on all your pages, leading to increased page size and significantly higher loading time. What you gain by having fewer server requests, you lose by loading unnecessary JS on all your store pages.
Advanced Bundling helps you bundle the JS files in an intelligent way, by creating different types of JS bundles specific to each Magneto page. This way you benefit from the fewer requests while loading only the necessary JS specific for each page type. JS files are bundled in an efficient way, minimizing the page size and providing the speed improvements that your store needs. The Advanced Bundling process is recommended by Magento as a manually applied solution to increase speed, and this module was created to help merchants bypass the high degree of implementation complexity.
Moving JS files to page bottom
By loading your CSS files before your JS files you will be able to show the content of your page faster, and assure optimum surfing experience for the end user. First Paint Score of your page will increase significantly, and the end users will feel that your website is fast and responsive, without endless spinning wheel waiting time while browsing trough your site. Not only will site visitors have a great surfing experience but also search engines will rank your store with a higher speed score, and boost your SEO index.
Preloading CSS files
This feature will also give you an additional speed boost. Stylesheets included in the head section will be downloaded asynchronously, preventing them from blocking the page render and decreasing load times.
Here’s why page speed is a major part of a great user experience - especially for the growing population of mobile users.
