    Improving site performance by shipping more CSS

    GitHub faced performance degradation on server-side rendering and initial page loads due to scaling issues with its CSS-in-JS solution. The engineering team executed a multi-year migration to CSS Modules and eliminated dynamic styling props using incremental rollouts, wrapper components, and automation tools. This resulted in significant performance gains, including 55% faster server-side rendering and the complete removal of styled-components.

The approach remains unimplemented, with future viability depending on technical validation, data quality, and privacy approvals.
