More on Google Apps Script HtmlService performance
Blog: Dave Thinking Aloud - David French
Following on from the post where I identified some performance issues with HtmlService there are some additional ‘best practices’ to be considered for performance reasons.
- Minimise number of source files css and js included in the html. The initial load time is sensitive to the number of files to be processed.
- Avoid source file loads of css and js on client side. These end up as serial operations (in contrast to the usual parallel browser operations). This is a significant factor even if these url are cached.
- Avoid un-cached images (icons and the like). With references buried in css and js files, these seem to take a long time to load and also fall into the serial operations category.
