In late 2020, I ran a Lighthouse test on a simple content page on Harvie, our farm management platform and Symfony app, and received a performance score of 31/100. The JavaScript bundle, the API requests, the database lookups, even with minimal UI to render, had a baseline score in the thirties! Along with customer feedback, this helped to catalyze a renewed commitment to performance at Harvie. Through numerous discussions, we walked through each step of page load, from networking to rendering, and identified where we could improve. After a year of rewrites and upgrades, our remaining detriment to overall performance was our frontend. We had been converting our Symfony twig templates into React SPA components and fell into the common problem of creating "request waterfalls", while our user had to stare at a loading screen. We needed a change, and for us, that was Remix. In this talk, I'll walk you through our team's journey with performance and how Remix has become a natural progression of that.

How to Debug Remix loaders and actions in VS Code

This video shows how to configure VS Code to debug your Remix loaders and actions. NOTE: You can now use the `debugger` statement instead of the external `debug()` function. I tried this before, but it didn't work. Not sure why it works now. You still can't set a breakpoint inside a route module, but you can add `debugger` statement and it will break there. You can then step through your code. I will be re-recording this video with this new info. Get the launch configuration here: https://rmx.fyi/debug

Remix Run - Introduction to HTTP Caching

HTTP Caching is a web fundamental every web developer should eventually learn. The quickest way to a slow website is to not understand caching and ofc, the best way to make your website fast is to take advantage of it. In this video we'll explain the basics of HTTP caching, how web browsers respond to it, and how CDNs take advantage of it, by building a bare-bones Node.js server and then quickly see how to specify caching headers in a Remix App.
