The Challenge

When working with a major North American footwear retailer, we faced critical performance issues:

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) of 8.2s
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) of 0.45
  • First Input Delay (FID) of 320ms

Key Optimizations

1. Lazy Loading Revolution

@NgModule({
imports: [
  RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {
    preloadingStrategy: CustomPreloadingStrategy
  })
]
})
export class AppModule {}

2. CLS Mitigation Techniques

We implemented advanced layout stability patterns including:

  • Reserve space for async content
  • CSS containment strategies
  • Predictive loading heuristics

Results:

  • LCP: 2.1s (↓74%)
  • CLS: 0.12 (↓73%)
  • FID: 89ms (↓72%)
