Thinking Like a Browser: Understanding the Journey from URL to First & Largest Paint
(see full event)
What actually happens after the browser gets your HTML? In this talk, we’ll walk through the Critical Rendering Path — from parsing and layout to paint — and build a clear mental model of how browsers turn code into pixels. Along the way, we’ll touch on connection setup, but focus on what really impacts how fast your page becomes usable.
