Front end performance used to be a relatively simple task–minifying, concatenating and gzipping, a bit of smushing images, and all done.

But in 2021 it’s far more than that, and only getting more complex. That’s where lazy load comes in. A conference dedicated to front end performance, we’ll cover what you need to know now, and what’s coming next.

Who’s it for?

If you build front ends, lazy load is for you.

In depth knowledge

All Web Directions conferences feature in-depth knowledge from real world experts. Some you’ll know, many you won’t, but all bring a world of experience and knowledge.

How will lazy load be held?

Most online conferences run just like in-person conferences–one or two jam-packed days, of live streamed presentation. But with so many folks working remotely, and spending so much of their day in front of a screen we felt it was imperative to rethink this, and do something differently.

lazy load takes place over 2 consecutive Fridays in May 2021. It will run for 3 and a half hours each session (with a bit of downtime built-in). Plus will run it 3 times so wherever you are in the world, you can participate along with your peers, from the comfort of your own home (or maybe office).

CFP Description

Keen to speak at Lazy Load?

If you’re keen to speak at Lazy Load or one of our other events in 2021, we’d love to hear from you.

For Lazy Load we’re focussing on frontend performance. Web Directions conferences have always focussed on technologies and practices rather than specific solutions (frameworks and libraries, commercial or open source.)

Topics to focus on

Some of the topics we feel will make for relevant, valuable presentations at lazy load include

Technologies

Current performance related technologies and their uses that are under utilised, less widely understood or adopted Emerging technologies that have impact now, and whose importance will only increase

Practices and techniques

It’s not just the technologies that matter it’s what we do with them. So we’re also keen on presentations that outline techniques and practices that help improve front end performance.

Case Studies

Had any big front end performance wins you’d like to share with your peers? We’d love to hear about them
