Speeding up the Koko Analytics dashboard

Just now we released version 1.3 of Koko Analytics.

While the interface did not change, pretty much everything that resulted in this interface showing up on your screen did.

We added an option to load the dashboard outside of WordPress admin and ditched our dependency on React. This change resulted in huge performance improvements.

Total page weight is down over 95% and the Largest Contentful Paint metric improved from over 2 seconds to around 800 ms, according to synthetic lab testing using Lighthouse.

You can read more about these changes on our blog here: https://www.kokoanalytics.com/2023/10/31/speeding-up-dashboard-removing-react-vanilla-js/

That's it - have a nice day!
