Nolan is a web developer focused on client-side performance. He has worked on the browser performance team for Microsoft Edge, and currently works on the Lightning Web Components framework at Salesforce. He blogs about performance and other topics at nolanlawson.com.
On the client side, we pay a lot of attention to JavaScript performance. But relatively little time is spent on CSS, even though style and layout calculation can impact runtime performance as well. In this talk, I'd like to demystify some aspects of CSS runtime performance, exploring what parts the browser has already optimized, and what we as web developers can do to speed up styling.
