Performance

Chisel aims to offer great performance out-of-box. The rest is up to you.

JavaScript

JavaScript bundle is minified and deferred.

The file name is revisioned. A content hash is appended to the filename (eg. app.7ea16125.js) so you can set up content caching in the far future.

CSS

CSS styles are concatenated to one file and minified.

The file name is revisioned. A content hash is appended to the filename (eg. main.6a889b04.css) so you can set up content caching in the far future.

WordPress

  • jQuery is not included by default
  • Disable Emojis plugin is installed
  • static resources (CSS, JS, images) are served with far-future expires headers to leverage browser caching
  • we recommend using WordPress hosting which uses a proxy cache (eg. Pantheon) or a cache plugin which generates static HTML files like WP Rocket
