TL;DR: it took about half a day to go from an abysmal 48 to a 100 Lighthouse score on my Nuxt.js blog.

Since launch, I haven't paid much attention to the performance of my blog. I read this article by Addy Osmani which explains why website performance is important. How important is the role of javascript in the page rendering cycle? If you want to know The Cost of Javascrip - Read this article

In short, this article includes some best practices to reduce estimated input latency and improve the performance of the site. You will also find 3 crucial tips to keep in mind while using nuxt framework. Want to learn how the webpage is read by the browser?.

Most of you know that I'm not a storyteller. If you don't know my profession, I would strongly recommend looking into the IG-Bio [trust me first-cry, blowing candle जैसी vulgar बातों में से कुछ नहीं है उसमें]. Anyway, since we are talking about the profession, I hope you are familiar with this guy in this picture.

If you don't remember, this guy is ACP Pradyuman, and let me remind you CID was one of the Most Ridiculous TV Shows. These are not my words, this is something I read over the weekend. CID had supernatural powers. Why? -- BC they are the only humans capable of capturing infra-red radiations with swimming goggles, magnifying pictures thousands of times without ruining their resolution, and slapping criminals so hard that they immediately end up in the CID bureau. Moreover, these guys can find the supplier of

This post exposes a few Javascript hidden gems that many developers are unaware of. Hopefully, this would save some of your development/debugging time.

Get or set query arguments in a URL

// url.searchParam
let url = new URL("https://thatjs.dev/?q=Learn%20Javascript&page=2");
let query = url.searchParams.get("q"); // is the string "Learn Javascript"
let query = url.searchParams.get("page"); // is the number 2

url.searchParams.set("page",3);

Since you are here, I assume the headline worked. However, to clear out the confusion why I'm recommending to cut out people from your life, you would have to understand that you have a limited number of productive hours in a day and if you are not going to respect your time nobody will respect your commitments.

Today, connecting with people is too easy. Emails & WhatsApp messages allow us to contact others too smoothly. It's easy to make quick connections at the workplace or on social media. Yet quick connections tend to be shallow. Think about how many connections do you have on LinkedIn or other social media platforms but have you met more than 10 of them in person? As you move forward in life, you will have more of these shallow connections. At one point you will feel great like you are in demand. But they are going to hold you back from those who really

I toasted these two pieces together but one is partially burnt. This compelled me to write a post on a crucial topic “Burnout”.

Here is something which no one is going to tell you in your 20s but you will realize in your 30s. Life is going to roast you, people are definitely going to push you beyond your limits. But unlike these toasted beads, you can take your life decisions.

You have to understand the fact that everyone has their own limits and certainly you too. If you keep on comparing yourself with Sharma Ji's kid you may hurt yourself. The pain is not always physical, it includes mental pain as well.

Subconsciously you may start feeding your mind that you are not good enough or you may start building an inferiority complex and ultimately you will burnout. This is one of the reasons why people lose hope & develop symptoms of anxiety & depression. However, o

Respect what your parent/partner is doing for you.

It's easy to say that the circuit breaker is not that bad. Now you have more time to spend with family but are you spending time or passing time? — Think again.

It’s good that you are trying your hands at cooking. But, if you are not cleaning up the kitchen afterward my friend you are putting more work on your peers.

This doodle is the representation of what’s happing in 90% of Indian homes. “Male” members are enjoying and living their lives like a king while women are spending most of their valuable time in the kitchen. Maybe you have seen a viral quote floating around these days “It’s quarantine, not ‘who is more productive competition’” that’s funny but on a serious note, it’s not a holiday either. So, stop fucking commanding your partners/parents and start helping them out.

Have you ever wondered that I could have achieved more today but between work (or homework), working out and other necessary rituals the time passed quickly?

"If you see distraction externally, you end up creating an internally distracted state.” – Tim Ferriss

One of the solutions is to block out at least 60 minutes in the morning before checking e-mail to work on your #1 most important/uncomfortable to-do. If you want to learn more here is the Tim's detailed morning routine.

What happens when a browser loads a website?

1. It fetches the HTML page (index.html)
2. Begin parsing the HTML
3. The parser encounters a <script> tag referencing an external script file.
4. The browser requests the script file. Meanwhile, the parser blocks and stops parsing the other HTML on your page.
5. After some time the script is downloaded and subsequently executed.
6. The parser continues parsing the rest of the HTML document.

(Step 4) It causes a bad user experience. Your website basically stops loading until you've downloaded all scripts. If there's one thing that users hate it's waiting for a website to load.
