HTTP Cache Validation with ETag and Last-Modified
ETag and Last-Modified drive conditional HTTP requests and 304 responses. See how precedence, weak validators, CDNs, and cache policy affect revalidation.

Performance
Website performance starts with measuring the experience people actually receive, not chasing a Lighthouse score in isolation. These articles look at rendering behaviour and production bottlenecks, then at the engineering decisions that stop the same regression returning with the next feature or content release.
