2010 State of Performance
I wrote today’s post on the Performance Calendar titled “2010 State of Performance”. Here’s the concluding paragraph:
The highlights of 2010 for me were the emergence of WPO as an industry, establishment of the W3C Web Performance Working Group, strength of open source tools, adoption of the HAR format, and increased awareness of the impact of third party content. In 2011 I’m looking forward to better browser benchmarks and instrumentation, mobile tools and best practices, and faster ads. But the list is much longer than this blog post – I didn’t even mention separation of script downloading and execution, HTML5 pros and cons, improvements to browser caching, and TCP and SSL optimizations. What did you think was important in 2010 and where will the big gains come from in 2011? I think we’ll agree on one thing – the only direction to go in is faster.
Go read the full post and leave your thoughts about web performance in 2010 and 2011. We’ve got another exciting year ahead of us.
