High Performance Web Sites, Part 2
April 30, 2008 4:02 PM | Permalink | Comments (4) »
In my first book, High Performance Web Sites, I presented 14 rules for making web pages faster. I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Bad news first: there are more than 14 things you have to do to speed up your pages. The good news is I’ve started another book that describes more best practices for web performance. The working title is High Performance Web Sites, Part 2. Here’s the set of rules I have so far:
- Split the initial payload
- Load scripts without blocking
- Don’t scatter scripts
- Split dominant content domains
- Make static content cookie-free
- Reduce cookie weight
- Minify CSS
- Optimize images
- Use iframes sparingly
- To www or not to www
