Caching as a big concept is you're putting something somewhere to use it later, and it means that's faster. Let's talk about render blocking requests. By default, CSS and JavaScript files will stop the browser from rendering while it goes and downloads and parses those requests. That can cause your website to be extremely slow, especially if you're just throwing everything into the head of your document.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk through all the reasons your website might be slow, and how you can troubleshoot a slow website such as issues on the server, large assets, caching, CSS, JavaScript, latency, and more.
