Optimization strategies
Lean more about the techniques we use to keep your site fast.
Global website cache
We cache your site on 80+ data centers across 6 continents, powered by Cloudflare and Fastly.
Most CDNs only cache your static assets, but we cache your dynamic content, too.*
Visitors get a fast response, no matter where they're located.
Improves
The time it takes for the first byte of the response to be received. The faster this is, the sooner the browser can start to render the page and download other resources.
The time it takes for the first content to be painted on the screen.
Extract Critical CSS
Your site can’t display until all CSS has downloaded.
However, not all of your site’s CSS is necessary for above-the-fold content.
Fudge first loads the CSS needed for above-the-fold content, then loads the rest of your CSS later.
Improves
The time it takes for the first content to be painted on the screen.
Defer Synchronous Scripts
Scripts without the async or defer attribute block your page's rendering, and are very common.
When the browser finds one of these script tags, it has to stop loading the page, download the script, run it, and only then can it continue.
Fudge automatically defers these scripts, including any other code that depends on it.
Improves
The time it takes for the first content to be painted on the screen.
The time it takes for the HTML document to download and parse, and all deferred scripts have downloaded and executed.
Preload Critical Images
Fudge pre-loads the most important images on each of your pages. This means users see your most critical content sooner.
Fudge supports responsive images meaning we preload the exact right image for your user’s screen.
We’re the only solution on the market that is able to preload responsive images automatically.
Improves
The time it takes for the largest piece of content to be painted on the screen. This is usually a heading, hero image or product image. Once this event happens the page is considered to be "loaded".
The sum of all layout shifts that occur during the page load. The lower the score, the less your page 'jumps around' while loading.
Optimize 3rd Parties
Third party scripts can significantly weigh down a page.
We automatically de-prioritize 3rd parties, meaning your own code and content loads first, while non-essential scripts load asynchronously.
Soon, we will also move some 3rd parties to the Edge, and others to a Web Worker, to further improve performance.

The time it takes for the first user interaction to be registered. This is a measure of page responsiveness.
