How to Concat/Merge/Join Two Array in Javascript ES6

Let’s say, we have two arrays:

let arr1 = [1, 2, 3]
let arr2 = [5, 6, 7]

Now, you want to have a third array that merges the two arrays:

let arr3 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

To achieve that, you can simply destructure the two arrays and use the result to create another array like following:

let arr3 = [...arr1, ...arr2]
console.log(arr3)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Why does Your New Site Take Ages to Load?

I was trying to track down a couple of website slow down reports lately. There is an interesting change of slow down behaviour these days in web application. From a conventional standpoint, people firmly believes that their static contents are not going to affect the performance of their websites other than images being heavy.
 
In reality, they are ignoring the fact that they are using jQuery plugins of many kinds from multiple developers. Hence cumulative number & sizes of JS files are pretty large these days comparing with all the plugins were coming from a single developer. Once the number of static file increases and goes beyond 100 per page, a cookie domain can hit some serious performance penalty. Geolocation for these small files and accessing them from single source can also increase the time geometrically. There is undoubtedly a large market of CDN due to the nature of development in web application.
 
I have seen, people these days are more aware about handling large data wisely than before. If you are using a Cloud from any provider, you are possibly using an E5 core or multiple (Mellowhost uses only E5 nodes right at this moment), that usually comes with access to a 16/24/32MB cache. Your static handling going to be more important in performance on these type of resources than your database, as threading is more of a concern than a single process handling in these virtualised resources.
