Special Guest: Eric Allatt, 8-Time Certified Developer
Show Notes
Eric Allatt is an 8-time certified Magento developer (kind of a lot, right?) who is kind of obsessed with website performance. He loves it so much that he has developed a pretty robust module that helps people to increase their speeds and strip the weight that holds them down!
2:46
Eric explains his Cyberic Performance project (which can be found HERE) and what led him to create it.
5:41
How to fire up his module and put it to use in your daily work. Of course, we would all love to have a module that just automatically works with any website, but that isn’t quite the case. “Starting in green and finishing in yellow” as opposed to “starting in yellow and finishing in red”. What to look out for and what needs to happen before you look to use this module. Eric believes that this module, even at its worst, can certainly still help you out in certain ways.
8:02
How Eric’s module is different from others in its bundling, and how he has come to understand the resources available in RequireJS.
13:32 - 30:35
Eric’s 6 core steps you can take to achieve incredible speeds in Magento. Some of these tools will seem simple, but Eric helps you to understand exactly what to do with these tools.
23:50
Magento’s list of modules can be found HERE.
