> 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

MetricGoodNeeds WorkPoor
LCP< 2.5s2.5-4s> 4s
INP< 200ms200-500ms> 500ms
CLS< 0.10.1-0.25> 0.25
TTFB< 800ms800ms-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.

Checklist

Images

  • Modern formats (WebP/AVIF)
  • Responsive srcset
  • width/height attributes
  • loading="lazy" below fold
  • fetchpriority="high" on LCP image

JavaScript

  • Bundle < 200KB gzipped
  • Code splitting by route
  • Third-party scripts deferred
  • No unused dependencies

CSS

  • Critical CSS inlined
  • Non-critical CSS deferred
  • No unused CSS

Fonts

  • font-display: swap
  • Preconnect to font origin
  • Subset if possible

Detailed Examples

For in-depth optimization patterns, see:

> related_skills --same-repo

> playwright-skill

Complete browser automation with Playwright. Auto-detects dev servers, writes clean test scripts to /tmp. Test pages, fill forms, take screenshots, check responsive design, validate UX, test login flows, check links, automate any browser task. Use when user wants to test websites, automate browser interactions, validate web functionality, or perform any browser-based testing. Do NOT use for quick page debugging or network inspection (use chrome-devtools instead).

> nx-workspace

Configure, explore, and optimize Nx monorepo workspaces. Use when setting up Nx, exploring workspace structure, configuring project boundaries, analyzing affected projects, optimizing build caching, or implementing CI/CD with affected commands. Keywords — nx, monorepo, workspace, projects, targets, affected. Do NOT use for running tasks (use nx-run-tasks) or code generation with generators (use nx-generate).

> nx-run-tasks

Execute build, test, lint, serve, and other tasks in an Nx workspace using single runs, run-many, and affected commands. Use when user says "run tests", "build my app", "lint affected", "serve the project", "run all tasks", or "nx affected". Do NOT use for code generation (use nx-generate) or workspace configuration (use nx-workspace).

> nx-generate

Generate code using Nx generators — scaffold projects, libraries, features, or run workspace-specific generators with proper discovery, validation, and verification. Use when user says "create a new library", "scaffold a component", "generate code with Nx", "run a generator", "nx generate", or any code scaffolding task in a monorepo. Prefers local workspace-plugin generators over external plugins. Do NOT use for running build/test/lint tasks (use nx-run-tasks) or workspace configuration (use nx-
