Cutting our webpack build times in half

Measuring: honeycomb.
Duplicate dependencies: Some bundles have a hard dependency on an older version of React, so there would be 2 copies of react. Make sure that libraries have carets.
Webpack DLL plugin: Allows a common dependency to be in a single file. This can reduce page size+ hit cache on React/other dependencies.
sourcemap on takes a long time for the codebase to compile. Switching to cheap-eval-source-map to cut down build time from 15 to 7 minutes.
Incremental builds - Create a webpack plugin that detects which files have changed and recompile the bundles specific to what has changed.
Other improvements
- Thread loader to multi-thread Babel compiles
- Prevent node_modules from being processed in Babel
- Upgrading to Babel 7, Webpack 4.
- Turn off split chunks in development mode.
- Turn of Post CSS in dev.

Don’t use the word “link” in your links.
Don’t capitalize links.
Avoid ASCII characters. If you must use emoticons, mark them up with ARIA. Even dashes, you can change them. 16-17 years should be “16 to 17 years”.
Avoid using link URLs as link text.
Keep link text concise - maximum of 100 characters.
Restrict the number of text links on a page.
Don’t link directly to downloads.
Alert the user when opening new windows. “This will open in a new window”.
Be aware of pagination and alphabetized links. There should be contextual information before the list of links.
- Color should not be the only thing being used in pagination or alphabetised links to indicate the current link. This violates 1.4.1 Use of Color.
- You should also add CSS padding around the link to increase the clickable area.
Anchor links - need to say if you’re navigating around in the same page.
Underline links, or contrast them with the surrounding background. Underline, bold, italic, increase in font-size.
Design with keyboard-only users in mind.
No onclick on random elements, have to be links.
