Performance · Bootstrap
Site speed wins on Bootstrap.
Simple steps to keep your pages under two seconds—even with rich visuals.
Bootstrap: ally or enemy.
Bootstrap ships fast—if you respect it. Ignore weight and it drags you down.
- Use only what you need: drop unused JS/CSS, keep components lean.
- Custom builds: trim the bundle, load icons and utilities selectively.
- Grid + responsiveness dialed in: cover every screen without bloaty overrides.
- Design system discipline: consistent spacing, type scales, and reusable patterns.
Optimize assets
- Modern formats (WebP/AVIF) and responsive image sizes.
- Lazy-load below-the-fold media; defer non-critical scripts.
- Minify and combine CSS/JS; purge unused classes.
- Cache headers and CDN delivery on oneColo.
Refining Bootstrap for speed since v1.
We’ve built on Bootstrap from the earliest versions—using it as a launchpad, not a crutch.
- Rapid starts: reusable patterns and layout blocks that cover all screen sizes out of the gate.
- Performance budgets: set targets (LCP/CLS/INP) and keep them front and center in every sprint.
- Custom theming: consistent tokens for color, type, and spacing to avoid override bloat.
- Code hygiene: remove legacy components, slim modals/carousels, and keep JS vanilla where possible.
Practiced speed
All screens covered
- Audit: lighthouse + field data from Florida vantage points.
- Refactor: strip unused utilities, collapse CSS drift, and tighten breakpoints.
- Ship: staged rollouts with monitoring and real-device checks.
- Maintain: keep dependencies current without ballooning bundle size.
