- [Morten] See if you recognize the situation. You go to a website or click a link, and the website and the images and the video just take forever to load. Sound familiar? What you're experiencing is a website with poor performance. And that feeling of frustration you get even just thinking about this experience is tied to this performance. It is no longer enough for your web creations to work. They have to work fast, and that's what performance measures. In this course, I'll introduce you to the core principles of performance and show you how to develop websites and applications with performance in mind. We'll look at common performance issues, what causes them, and how to solve them, and you'll get a solid understanding of how the web works and why performance is such a huge issue. Developing for performance results in your sites performing at their best, both figuratively and technically, and I'm here to show you how to get it right. So let's get cracking.
