Your app’s networking directly affects the user experience of your app. Imagine having to wait a few seconds for the page to load. Or even worse, imagine waiting for a few seconds every time you perform an action. It would be infuriating! Before you go on a fixing adventure, it’s a good idea to understand what causes that waiting time. So let’s do that!
Hey, you. Yes, you. Do you want to fix broken code faster and easier? Of course, you do. Who doesn’t? Well, lucky for you, we dedicated the whole month of October (and every other month) to helping you do just that. Checkout what’s new from Sentry and our friends at Codecov.
It’s official, summer is over. So grab yourself a pumpkin-spiced food item of choice and check out what the Sentry team has been up to this past month. From introducing new features, product improvements, and integrations, we can objectively say we made Sentry at least a smidge better this month. Keep reading to see how the latest developments can make your debugging experience less painful.
Render-blocking resources are JavaScript and CSS files that prevent the web page from loading until they are downloaded. These might be critical resources that don’t get loaded immediately, or non-critical resources that are being loaded at the very beginning. Fixing render-blocking JavaScript and CSS helps improve page load times so sneakerheads don’t bounce to your competitor’s site while waiting for the images of the latest drop to load.
Modern applications are complex inter-connected collections of services and moving parts that all have the potential to fail or not work as expected. Flutter and the language it’s built upon, Dart, are designed for event-driven, concurrent, and, most crucially, performant apps. It’s important for any developer using them to have a decent selection of debug tools.
