JavaScript and Website performance
Techworld has a detailed summary of Google’s high performance guru Steve Souder’s recent Tech Ed presentation on web site performance, where he singles out JavaScript as a particular culprit in slowing down sites.
With Amazon reporting that a 10th of a second slow down in overall page loading reduced sales by 1%, this is no trivial matter.
If you are interested in knowing more, Steve’s classic book High Performance Sites, and upcoming Even Faster Sites are well worth thinking about.
We also have a detailed session at Web Directions South by Gruden’s Mark Stanton, where you can learn how to analyse what your end users are experiencing and how to reduce your load times by 25–50% using a range of simple techniques.
