# How to Optimize Documentation Performance This guide shows you how to optimize your DocuMCP-deployed documentation for speed, efficiency, and user experience. ## Quick Setup ```bash # Prompt DocuMCP: "optimize my documentation for performance" ``` ## Performance Overview DocuMCP provides comprehensive performance optimization for your documentation: ### Key Metrics - **Core Web Vitals**: LCP, FID, CLS measurements - **Page Load Speed**: First contentful paint, time to interactive - **Resource Optimization**: Image, CSS, JavaScript optimization - **Caching Strategy**: Browser and CDN caching ### Performance Benefits - **Better User Experience**: Faster loading times - **SEO Improvement**: Search engines favor fast sites - **Reduced Bounce Rate**: Users stay longer on fast sites - **Cost Efficiency**: Lower bandwidth and hosting costs ## Setup Methods ### Method 1: Automated Optimization (Recommended) ```bash # Complete performance optimization: "analyze and optimize my documentation performance" ``` This will: 1. Analyze current performance metrics 2. Optimize images and assets 3. Configure caching strategies 4. Implement code splitting 5. Set up performance monitoring ### Method 2: Manual Configuration #### Step 1: Performance Analysis ```bash # Analyze current performance: "analyze performance of my documentation site" ``` #### Step 2: Asset Optimization ```bash # Optimize assets: "optimize images and static assets for performance" ``` #### Step 3: Caching Configuration ```bash # Configure caching: "set up caching strategy for my documentation" ``` ## Performance Optimization Techniques ### Image Optimization ```bash # Optimize images: "optimize all images for web performance" ``` #### Image Formats - **WebP**: Modern format with superior compression - **AVIF**: Next-generation format with excellent compression - **Progressive JPEG**: Better perceived performance #### Responsive Images ```html <picture> <source media="(min-width: 800px)" srcset="large.webp" /> <source media="(min-width: 400px)" srcset="medium.webp" /> <img src="small.jpg" alt="Documentation screenshot" /> </picture> ``` ### CSS Optimization ```bash # Optimize CSS: "optimize CSS for performance" ``` #### CSS Best Practices - **Critical CSS**: Inline critical styles - **Unused CSS**: Remove unused stylesheets - **CSS Minification**: Compress CSS files - **CSS Splitting**: Load only necessary styles ### JavaScript Optimization ```bash # Optimize JavaScript: "optimize JavaScript for performance" ``` #### JavaScript Best Practices - **Code Splitting**: Load only necessary code - **Tree Shaking**: Remove unused code - **Lazy Loading**: Load scripts on demand - **Minification**: Compress JavaScript files ## Caching Strategies ### Browser Caching ```yaml # Browser caching configuration caching: static_assets: max_age: "1 year" cache_control: "public, immutable" html_pages: max_age: "1 hour" cache_control: "public, must-revalidate" api_responses: max_age: "5 minutes" cache_control: "private, max-age=300" ``` ### CDN Configuration ```bash # Set up CDN: "configure CDN for my documentation assets" ``` ### Service Worker ```bash # Implement service worker: "set up service worker for offline documentation access" ``` ## Performance Monitoring ### Core Web Vitals ```bash # Monitor Core Web Vitals: "set up Core Web Vitals monitoring" ``` #### Key Metrics - **LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)**: < 2.5s - **FID (First Input Delay)**: < 100ms - **CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)**: < 0.1 ### Real User Monitoring ```bash # Set up RUM: "configure real user monitoring for performance tracking" ``` ### Synthetic Monitoring ```bash # Set up synthetic monitoring: "configure synthetic performance monitoring" ``` ## Advanced Optimization ### Preloading and Prefetching ```bash # Configure preloading: "set up resource preloading for critical assets" ``` ```html <!-- Preload critical resources --> <link rel="preload" href="/fonts/main.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin /> <link rel="preload" href="/css/critical.css" as="style" /> <!-- Prefetch likely next pages --> <link rel="prefetch" href="/tutorials/advanced-topics" /> ``` ### HTTP/2 Optimization ```bash # Optimize for HTTP/2: "configure HTTP/2 optimization" ``` ### Resource Hints ```html <!-- DNS prefetch for external resources --> <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.googleapis.com" /> <!-- Preconnect for critical external resources --> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://analytics.google.com" /> ``` ## Performance Testing ### Lighthouse Integration ```bash # Run Lighthouse audit: "run Lighthouse performance audit" ``` ### Performance Budget ```yaml # Performance budget configuration budget: total_budget: "500kb" js_budget: "200kb" css_budget: "100kb" image_budget: "200kb" font_budget: "100kb" ``` ### Continuous Performance Testing ```bash # Set up continuous testing: "configure continuous performance testing in CI/CD" ``` ## Mobile Performance ### Mobile Optimization ```bash # Optimize for mobile: "optimize documentation for mobile performance" ``` #### Mobile Best Practices - **Responsive Images**: Serve appropriate image sizes - **Touch Optimization**: Optimize for touch interfaces - **Mobile-First CSS**: Use mobile-first approach - **Reduced Data Usage**: Minimize data consumption ### Progressive Web App ```bash # Set up PWA: "configure Progressive Web App for documentation" ``` ## Performance Tools ### Built-in DocuMCP Tools - Performance analysis and optimization - Asset compression and optimization - Caching strategy configuration - Performance monitoring dashboard ### External Tools - Google PageSpeed Insights - WebPageTest - Chrome DevTools - Lighthouse CI ## Troubleshooting ### Common Performance Issues **Problem**: Slow page load times **Solution**: Optimize images, enable compression, improve caching **Problem**: High bounce rate **Solution**: Improve Core Web Vitals, optimize above-the-fold content **Problem**: Poor mobile performance **Solution**: Implement responsive design, optimize for mobile **Problem**: Large bundle sizes **Solution**: Implement code splitting, remove unused code ### Performance Debugging ```bash # Debug performance issues: "debug performance problems in my documentation" ``` ## Best Practices ### Development Guidelines 1. **Performance Budget**: Set and maintain performance budgets 2. **Regular Audits**: Run performance audits regularly 3. **Monitor Metrics**: Track Core Web Vitals continuously 4. **Optimize Assets**: Compress and optimize all assets 5. **Test on Real Devices**: Test performance on actual devices ### Optimization Strategies 1. **Critical Path**: Optimize critical rendering path 2. **Resource Prioritization**: Load critical resources first 3. **Lazy Loading**: Defer non-critical resources 4. **Caching**: Implement comprehensive caching strategy 5. **CDN Usage**: Use CDN for static assets ## Performance Checklist ### Pre-Launch - [ ] Run Lighthouse audit (score > 90) - [ ] Optimize all images - [ ] Minify CSS and JavaScript - [ ] Configure caching headers - [ ] Test on mobile devices ### Post-Launch - [ ] Monitor Core Web Vitals - [ ] Set up performance alerts - [ ] Regular performance audits - [ ] User experience monitoring - [ ] Continuous optimization ## Next Steps - [Site Monitoring](site-monitoring.md) - [SEO Optimization](seo-optimization.md) -
