  1. Speed Matters

    Speed should be feature #1 on any website. In this talk from the 2010 O’Reilly Velocity Conference, Urs Holzle of Google lists some of ways that individual websites and the public Internet can be significantly sped up with minor tweaks.

    The protocols that the Internet runs on, like TCP, have held up remarkably well over time but were not designed for the high speed networks we have today. Research projects at Google have found how simple, unobtrusive changes to these protocols can noticeably speed up web sites. Other incremental improvements in things like DNS, header caching, and SSL add up to improvements of 50% or more.

    Google has several other projects to speed up the Internet experience for regular users. Their Chrome browser is one of the fastest and they have shared that technology by open sourcing parts of its technology. They host a fast public DNS server that anyone can use. They also have several tools for web developers to diagnose and improve speed problems on their websites. They do all of this because users enjoy and spend more time and money on fast websites.

  4. Web Directions Podcast - Steve Souders - Even faster web sites

    Web 2.0 is adding more and more content to our pages, especially features that are implemented in Ajax. But our web applications are evolving faster than the browsers that they run in. We don’t have to rely on or wait for the release of new browsers to make our web applications faster. In this session, Steve Souders discusses web performance best practices from his second book, Even Faster Web Sites. These time-saving techniques are used by the world’s most popular web sites to create a faster user experience, increase revenue, and reduce operating costs. Steve provides technical details about reducing the pain of JavaScript, as well as secrets for making your page load faster in emerging markets where network connectivity is a challenge.

    Steve works at Google on web performance and open source initiatives. He previously served as Chief Performance Yahoo!. Steve is the author of High Performance Web Sites and Even Faster Web Sites. He created YSlow, the performance analysis plug-in for Firefox. He serves as co-chair of Velocity, the web performance and operations conference from O’Reilly, and is co-founder of the Firebug Working Group. He recently taught CS193H: High Performance Web Sites at Stanford University.
