Improving Performance for Browser-Based Word Games on Google Chrome

Google Cloud Build with AI AI Infrastructure

Hi everyone,

I run a small website focused on daily browser-based word games (similar to NYT-style puzzles), and I’ve noticed that on some devices the gameplay feels slightly laggy, especially during rapid input or animations.

The game itself is lightweight (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), but I’m looking for best practices recommended by Google to improve performance on Chrome, such as:

  • Optimizing DOM updates

  • Reducing input latency

  • Any Chrome DevTools tips for profiling simple games

If anyone has experience optimizing casual or puzzle-style web games, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I suggest that you update the tags on this to application development and web development. The api-runtime and developer-portal tags direct this into API management (think API security and organization) areas of our forum.

Happy Coding!
