Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Detect CSS Reflows (detect-css-reflows)

Let the developers know if changes to a specific CSS property inside @keyframes will trigger changes on the Layout, Composite or Paint rendering pipeline.

Why is this important?

Understanding what rendering pipeline operations will be triggered by changes on specific CSS properties can prevent users from introducing unintentional performance hits. Paint and Layout operations should be minimized or avoided when combined with animations.

What does the hint check?

It scans the css properties inside @keyframes property against a defined set of properties and associated rendering triggers.

Examples that trigger the hint

left property triggers a Layout operation its use should be minimized inside @keyframes to avoid jankiness or slow animations.

@keyframes performance-with-layout-trigger {
    0% {
        left: 0;

    }
    100% {
        left: 400px;
    }
}

Examples that pass the hint

A better approach is to use translate which will trigger only once, at the end of the animation.

@keyframes performance-without-layout-trigger {
    0% {
        transform: translateX(0);

    }
    100% {
        transform: translateX(400px);
    }
}

Can the hint be configured?

You can decide the granularity and severity of your reports up to the following categories:

  • detect-css-reflows/composite
  • detect-css-reflows/layout
  • detect-css-reflows/paint

How to use this hint?

To use it you will have to install it via npm:

npm install hint --save-dev

Note: You can make npm install it as a devDependency using the --save-dev parameter, or to install it globally, you can use the -g parameter. For other options see npm's documentation.

And then activate it via the .hintrc configuration file:

{
    "connector": {...},
    "formatters": [...],
    "parsers": [...],
    "hints": {
        "detect-css-reflows/composite": "off",
        "detect-css-reflows/layout": "hint",
        "detect-css-reflows/paint": "off"
    },
    ...
}
