Download or read book Even Faster Web Sites written by Steve Souders and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance is critical to the success of any web site, and yet today's web applications push browsers to their limits with increasing amounts of rich content and heavy use of Ajax. In this book, Steve Souders, web performance evangelist at Google and former Chief Performance Yahoo!, provides valuable techniques to help you optimize your site's performance. Souders' previous book, the bestselling High Performance Web Sites, shocked the web development world by revealing that 80% of the time it takes for a web page to load is on the client side. In Even Faster Web Sites, Souders and eight expert contributors provide best practices and pragmatic advice for improving your site's performance in three critical categories: JavaScript—Get advice for understanding Ajax performance, writing efficient JavaScript, creating responsive applications, loading scripts without blocking other components, and more. Network—Learn to share resources across multiple domains, reduce image size without loss of quality, and use chunked encoding to render pages faster. Browser—Discover alternatives to iframes, how to simplify CSS selectors, and other techniques. Speed is essential for today's rich media web sites and Web 2.0 applications. With this book, you'll learn how to shave precious seconds off your sites' load times and make them respond even faster. This book contains six guest chapters contributed by Dion Almaer, Doug Crockford, Ben Galbraith, Tony Gentilcore, Dylan Schiemann, Stoyan Stefanov, Nicole Sullivan, and Nicholas C. Zakas.
Download or read book High Performance Web Sites written by Steve Souders and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want your web site to display more quickly? This book presents 14 specific rules that will cut 25% to 50% 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 Put Stylesheets at the Top Put Scripts at 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 your site, this book is indispensable. "If everyone would implement just 20% of Steve's guidelines, the Web would be adramatically better place. Between this book and Steve's YSlow extension, there's reallyno excuse for having a sluggish web site anymore." -Joe Hewitt, Developer of Firebug debugger and Mozilla's DOM Inspector "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." -Eric Lawrence, Developer of the Fiddler Web Debugger, Microsoft Corporation

Download or read book An Introduction to Website Performance written by John Rhea and published by The Undead Institute. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having trouble outrunning the zombie horde? Is your website so slow the remnants of humanity flee before it even loads? In this book we’ll discuss many different ways to make your website faster. These ways fall into three general strategies: reducing what’s sent to the user, speeding up/smoothing the website’s rendering, and reducing processing and download time. Within those three strategies there are a variety of zombie smashing tactics that can each shave a bit off the time it takes to show your website. Some tactics won’t be worth the trade-offs or won’t be feasible within your particular setup, but we’ll discuss each of them, the pros and cons of their use and when implementation doesn’t depend on particular server software or hardware we’ll show you how to do it too (even if it does require details about your particular setup, we’ll give you enough information to help you know where to start.) This book is a great starter on your performance journey showing you plenty of easy to implement, low hanging zombies that you can pick off to quickly make your site faster.

Book excerpt: Develop your JavaScript programming skills by learning strategies and techniques commonly used in modern full-stack application development Key FeaturesWrite and deploy full-stack applications efficiently with JavaScriptDelve into JavaScript’s multiple programming paradigmsGet up to speed with core concepts such as modularity and functional programming to write efficient codeBook Description In depth knowledge of JavaScript makes it easier to learn a variety of other frameworks, including React, Angular, and related tools and libraries. This book is designed to help you cover the core JavaScript concepts you need to build modern applications. You'll start by learning how to represent an HTML document in the Document Object Model (DOM). Then, you'll combine your knowledge of the DOM and Node.js to create a web scraper for practical situations. As you read through further lessons, you'll create a Node.js-based RESTful API using the Express library for Node.js. You'll also understand how modular designs can be used for better reusability and collaboration with multiple developers on a single project. Later lessons will guide you through building unit tests, which ensure that the core functionality of your program is not affected over time. The book will also demonstrate how constructors, async/await, and events can load your applications quickly and efficiently. Finally, you'll gain useful insights into functional programming concepts such as immutability, pure functions, and higher-order functions. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to tackle any real-world JavaScript development problem using a modern JavaScript approach, both for the client and server sides.
