Answer
Measure first. Then ship less: code-split, tree-shake, compress, and use modern image formats. Unblock rendering: defer scripts, inline critical CSS, and lazy-load below the fold. Cache: hashed filenames with a long max-age, and never cache the HTML. Move work: a CDN, server rendering, and parallel API calls instead of a waterfall.
