Coding techniques

Subresource integrity for scripts, CSS, etc. (via cryptographic hashes)

frontendmasters.com @chriscoyier@front-end.social github.com/FrontendMasters

“There is a web platform feature that can help against a third party changing the code they are providing. It’s the integrity attribute on <script> or <link> elements (which are rel="stylesheet", rel="preload", or rel="modulepreload"). It’s called ‘Subresource Integrity’, to name it correctly.”

JavaScript performance optimizations: code splitting, lazy loading, web workers, minifying files, asynchronous loading and more
