If you’re building a Node.js application with Mongoose, you’ve probably felt the pain of database performance at scale. The go-to solution? Add Redis. Set up a caching layer, wire it into your queries, and hope the invalidation logic doesn’t become a maintenance nightmare.

But what if we told you there’s a simpler way – one that uses the database you already have, requires zero additional infrastructure, and handles cache invalidation automatically?

Meet @sitelintpackages/mongoose-cache: a MongoDB-based caching solution for Mongoose queries with TTL and automatic invalidation support.

Render-blocking fonts refer to fonts that prevent a web page from rendering or displaying its content until the font has been loaded. This can cause a delay in the page loading, resulting in a slower user experience.

When a web page is loaded, the browser reads the HTML and CSS files to determine the layout and styling of the page. If a font is specified in the CSS, the browser will typically wait for the font to be loaded before rendering the page. This is known as a render-blocking font because it blocks the rendering of the page until the font is available.

Render-blocking fonts can be a problem because they can cause a delay in the page loading, especially if the font is large or takes a long time to load.

To avoid render-blocking fonts, let’s explore techniques to fix the issue.

Adding videos to your website can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Web users love high-resolution videos, but if your website isn’t optimized to handle them, such content can cause performance problems.

When it comes to optimizing background videos for fast loading, there are several steps you can take, from choosing the right codec to implementing modern loading strategies.

Optimizing images is always a good idea. It reduces the total amount of data being transferred over the network and memory consumption. What, if we could compress the image using JavaScript before uploading it to the server? It is possible. Let’s dive into that.

Sometimes the database might work slowly and one of the reasons is a large log file. Tracking database activity is crucial for performance and issues monitoring. However, the log file may grow and therefore may cause the performance issue because of more and more writing and reading on a larger and larger log file. We may avoid such problems by scheduling regular log rotation and keeping the log file size below a defined threshold. Let’s get started on figuring out how to address this issue.

How do you fix slow loading images on your website? What’s causing them? There are ways to optimize it, and let’s dive into it deeper.
