From the Publisher

Want your web site to display more quickly? This book presents 14 specific rules

that will cut 20% to 25% off response time when users request a page. Author

Steve Souders, in his job as Chief Performance Yahoo!, collected these best

practices while optimizing some of the most-visited pages on the Web. Even sites

that had already been highly optimized, such as Yahoo! Search and the Yahoo!

Front Page, were able to benefit from these surprisingly simple performance

guidelines. The rules in High Performance Web Sites explain how you can optimize

the performance of the Ajax, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, and images that you've

already built into your site -- adjustments that are critical for any rich web

application. Other sources of information pay a lot of attention to tuning web

servers, databases, and hardware, but the bulk of display time is taken up on

the browser side and by the communication between server and browser. High

Performance Web Sites covers every aspect of that process. Each performance rule

is supported by specific examples, and code snippets are available on the book's

companion web site. The rules include how to: Make Fewer HTTP Requests Use a

Content Delivery Network Add an Expires Header Gzip Components Move Stylesheets

at the Top Move Scripts to the Bottom Avoid CSS Expressions Make JavaScript and

CSS External Reduce DNS Lookups Minify JavaScript Avoid Redirects Remove

Duplicates Scripts Configure ETags Make Ajax Cacheable If you're building pages

for high traffic destinations and want to optimize the experience of users

visiting their site, this book is indispensable. & 34;If everyone would implement

just 20% of Steve's guidelines, the Web would be a dramaticallybetterplace.

Between this book and Steve's YSlow extension, there's really no excuse for

having a sluggish web site anymore.& 34; -Joe Hewitt, Developer of Firebug debugger

and Mozilla's DOM Inspector & 34;Steve Souders has done a fantastic job of

distilling a massive, semi-arcane art down to a set of concise, actionable,

pragmatic engineering steps that will change the world of web performance.& 34;
