Benchmarking Web Application Performance: A Study of Frontend and Backend Optimization Techniques

Abstract

Web application performance is a critical aspect that directly impacts user experience, user retention, and business outcomes. With the increasing complexity and functionality of web applications, optimizing both frontend and backend components has become essential for delivering high-performance applications. This study explores a variety of frontend and backend optimization techniques and benchmarks their effectiveness in enhancing web application performance. Through a comprehensive review of the existing literature and a series of performance tests on various optimization strategies, the research highlights best practices and tools for improving load times, responsiveness, and overall user experience. The findings suggest that a holistic approach combining frontend and backend optimization techniques is the most effective way to improve web application performance. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and testing to ensure that performance optimizations remain effective over time.
