Ok, that means that in crude words we can say, Response time = (time for download from network) + (time for decoding of components, eg jpeg) + (time for actual...
Hi, In our homepage (current yslow score 95%) we decided to cut an URL request to a 1x1 pixel image and instead use the data URL scheme: http://nestoria.co.uk/...
Our company is in the midst of analyzing the impact of 8 of the 12 rules for our site. The first three: GZIP, ETags and Minify JavaScripts, demonstrated no...
The rules are in approximate priority order, so you'll see a greater improvement with with Rule 1 than Rule 13 (Etags). Also, it's good to get at least 100...
... take ... When you say that they demonstrated no improvement, what do you mean? How are you defining success, and how are you measuring performance? We...
So with Keynote/Gomez you have to be careful that your type of measurement will show the effects of the kind of improvement you're looking at. For Keynote,...
Ernest, Joe and Steve, Thank you for your responses. The performance tool we are using is Silk Performer. The metrics we use match the definitions of frontend...

Hi everyone, hi Steve, Just want to let you guys know that I've had a look over Steve's book, and all I can say is.... it's all there! :) Very happy with it,...

Hi, I was curious to see if minifying CSS still makes sense if the content is delivered gzip-ed. I think it does. For testing I used the Perl CSS::Minify...
The YUI Compressor (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/) minimizes both JS and CSS. It's best used in batch mode, whereas JSMin is better for realtime...
Hi, Yeah, we tried the YUI compressor. We just didn't want to introduce Java as a dependency that's all. We don't even use the Perl module I wrote about....
Hi Everyone, We are using DOJO as part of our website. It has been included at the end of body tag, but when I check YSlow, it tells me 6. Put JS at the ...
