Overview of this book

High-performance web development is all about cutting through the complexities in different layers of a web app and building services and APIs that improve the speed and performance of your apps on the browser. With emerging web technologies, building scalable websites and sustainable web apps is smoother than ever. This book starts by taking you through the web frontend, popular web development practices, and the latest version of ES and JavaScript. You'll work with Node.js and learn how to build web apps without a framework. The book consists of three hands-on examples that help you understand JavaScript applications at both the server-side and the client-side using Node.js and Svelte.js. Each chapter covers modern techniques such as DOM manipulation and V8 engine optimization to strengthen your understanding of the web. Finally, you’ll delve into advanced topics such as CI/CD and how you can harness their capabilities to speed up your web development dramatically. By the end of this web development book, you'll have understood how the JavaScript landscape has evolved, not just for the frontend but also for the backend, and be ready to use new tools and techniques to solve common web problems.

Caching pages and templates for offline use

As we stated at the beginning of this chapter, one of the main uses for service workers is to cache page resources for future use. We saw this with our first simple ServiceWorker, but we should set up a more complicated page with more resources. Follow these steps:

  1. Create a brand new ServiceWorker called CacheServiceWorker.js and add the following template code to it. This is what most of the ServiceWorker instances will use:
self.addEventListener('install', (event) => {
event.waitUntil(
caches.open('v1').then((cache) => {
return cache.addAll([
// add resources here
]);
}).then(() => {
console.log('we are ready!');
})
);
});
self.addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
event.respondWith(
caches.match...
