#### Editor’s note
 

Improving web performance isn’t limited to a single area. One of the complexities of working on page speed is that it relies on multiple factors: how the assets (and data) are delivered, the characteristics of the assets and how they are downloaded and parsed by the client (network, device and browser capabilities to name a few).

**Performance is cross-functional.** You might need to optimise your database queries, rethink your design, preload scripts and so on. Not mentioning someone prioritising all of these tasks. It takes the entire team to holistically and meaningfully improve speed. The more people understand how their actions impact speed (positively and negatively), the more successful you will be as an organisation.

We can’t go at it alone.

We assume that sites and applications load similarly on slower connections, just slower. That’s not always the case with lazy loadable components—find out how to avoid unexpected results.

It’s vital to remember that there are multiple reasons past file size and type for slow sites and apps (such as servers, client browsers and the network). Is the way browsers are built helping us with page speed?
