10 Front-End Performance Fixes You Should Apply Today

  Let me tell you a story. It was midnight. I had just launched a shiny new client website — complete with animations, parallax effects, and enough JavaScript to power a spaceship. I was feeling smug. Until the next morning, when the client texted me: “Why is my site slower than my grandma’s dial-up?” Ouch. I popped open Lighthouse and boom: performance score — 42. My ego? Flattened. That was my wake-up call. Front end performance isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. You can have the sexiest UI in town, but if it loads like a snail dragging a brick, no one cares. Not Google. Not your users. Not even your mom. So here’s the hard truth, my friend: if you’re not actively optimizing your front end, you’re actively losing users. Let’s fix that. ⁰ 1. Kill the JavaScript Bloat (Yes, Yours Too) Do you need that carousel plugin from 2014? Or the 250kb animation library to spin a button? No. You don’t. Audit your scripts. Tree-shake. Lazy-load. Or just delete stuff. import _ from 'lodash' ;...

 Tailwind CSS v4.0: A Complete Game Changer for Modern Web Development

After years of development and refinement, Tailwind Labs has finally released Tailwind CSS v4.0, and it's nothing short of revolutionary. This isn't just another incremental update?-?it's a complete reimagining of what a CSS framework can be in 2025. The Performance Revolution The headline feature of v4.0 is undoubtedly its performance improvements. Full builds are up to 5x faster, and incremental builds are over 100x faster?-?and measured in microseconds. To put this in perspective, incremental builds that don't require new CSS compilation complete in under 200 microseconds?-?that's essentially instantaneous. Here's what this means in practice: Full builds: Down from 378ms to 100ms (3.78x faster) Incremental rebuilds with new CSS: From 44ms to 5ms (8.8x faster) Incremental rebuilds with no new CSS: From 35ms to 192µs (182x faster) This performance boost results from a ground-up rewrite of the entire engine, optimized specifically for modern development workflow...

All React Concepts Explained in Just One Read

  Edited on Canva Pro React is a JavaScript library full of fancy terms like reconciliation, composition, and error boundaries. What do all these terms mean? Let’s start from the beginning with components. 1️⃣Components Components are the building blocks of every React app. They allow us to create all the visible elements of our applications, such as buttons, inputs, or entire pages. Just like Legos, you can use components as many times as you want. Every React component is a JavaScript function that returns markup. 2️⃣JSX React is a JavaScript library. React components don’t return HTML markup; they return something called JSX, which is JavaScript in disguise. JSX is optional, but the alternative way to make user interfaces is with a function createElement , which gets annoying to write pretty fast, so everyone just uses JSX. Since JSX is JavaScript, you can’t write attributes like you would in HTML. You have to write them in camel case style. That means HTML attributes like class...

Difference Between Three.js and Babylon.js: What Actually Should You Choose?

You don’t have to be just a graphic designer to create interactive designs. You can be a coder and still create visually appealing and eye-catching games. All thanks to JavaScript. The first cross-browser JavaScript library–three.js–that can create 3D computer graphics was first released on 24 April 2010 by Ricardo Cabello. He first wrote the code in ActionScript language, which was then used by Adobe Flash. But then in 2009, he ported the code to JavaScript. Previously, people used WebGL. But the problem was its limitation: it can create only simple pointers and lines. Ricardo, instead of abandoning WebGL as something that is futile, used it to his own advantage. He built three.js on top of WebGL. This renders three.js to create 3D graphics in the browser. Even a 3D scene can be created easily using Canvas and WebGL now. But then in 2013, Babylon.js was created. But why? Why did its creators, Microsoft and David Catuhe, make something that another JavaScript library–three.js –was alre...

React Native vs React JS — Key Difference, Advantages-Disadvantages, Limitations

  React Native vs React JS — Key Difference, Advantages-Disadvantages, Limitations React JS It is a JavaScript library that supports each face and server-side. It’s a popularly used library that focuses on developing user interfaces for mobile and internet-primarily based applications. React Native It is a cross-platform mobile framework that uses the ReactJS framework. It’s primarily used for developing native mobile applications like Windows, iOS and mechanical man. The major advantage provided by React Native is that it permits the developers to form mobile applications on varied platforms while not compromising the tip user’s expertise. Components of React JS Components of React Native Basic parts View — it is the essential building block of internet applications. Text — It helps to point out the text. The text element contains nesting, styling, and bit handling. Image — this is often a React element for showing multiple footages like network pictures and static resources. Text...
