How can I improve resource prioritization for faster page loading?

Asked on Dec 19, 2025

Answer

Improving resource prioritization is crucial for faster page loading, as it ensures critical resources are loaded first, enhancing user experience. One effective method is to use the "preload" link relation to prioritize important resources like fonts or above-the-fold images.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <link rel="preload" href="/path/to/resource" as="style" type="text/css" crossorigin="anonymous">
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use "preload" for critical resources that must be fetched early, such as fonts, stylesheets, or hero images.
Ensure the "as" attribute matches the resource type (e.g., "style" for CSS, "image" for images).
Consider using "preconnect" for domains that require early DNS resolution and connection setup.
Monitor and adjust based on real user metrics to avoid over-prioritizing and causing delays in other resources.
