Download or read book Jump Start Web Performance written by Craig Buckler and published by SitePoint Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite working on the web every day, few developers have a good word to say about the monster they've created. Achingly slow sites with annoying overlays, cookie agreements, instant notifications, and obtrusive ads litter the web landscape. While there may be some excuses for complex web applications, there's little justification for sluggish content-based and ecommerce sites. People are notoriously impatient, and an unresponsive site receives fewer visitors and conversions. This practical, short book provides advice, tips, and best practice for improving website performance, ranging from quick, five-minute configuration changes to major website overhauls. We primarily concentrate on front-end activities and server configurations to optimize the code delivered to a browser. Some back-end tips are provided, but this is often specific to your application, framework, database, and usage patterns. Server-side performance can often be improved with additional or more powerful computing resources. Ideally, everyone involved in a project would consider performance from the start. Somewhat understandably, that rarely occurs, because no one can appreciate the speed of a website or application before it's been created. Many of the tips contained in this book can therefore be applied after your project has been delivered.

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 Jumpstart Into MAT written by Greg Roskopf and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say Goodbye to Muscle Dysfunction once and for all with Muscle Activation Techniques. This revolutionary approach will give your body the tools to recover, run faster, perform harder, and crush the competition. Greg Roskopf coupled stellar observation skills with his knowledge and expertise in exercise science to develop a paradigm shift. Suffering chronic pain for years from a falling accident when he was nineteen, Greg fervently sought solutions not only for himself but also for his clients. Greg's research led to an epiphany: Muscle tightness wasn't the only cause of limited range of motion, Muscle weakness also played a role ? and a BIG ONE. The muscle tightness was merely a symptom of the root problem; muscle weakness.Using Muscle Activation Techniques to "activate" and strengthen muscles can result in reduced pain, few injuries, and better overall performance levels. This is the shift Greg hopes to inspire: techniques focused on treating the weak muscles over the tight ones. This Jumpstart into MAT program will teach you:1) The correlation between muscle weakness and muscle tightness.2) Basic principles and introductory-level skills for understanding the MAT process.3) How to implement the MAT process into daily work with clients.4) Tools to identify and correct muscular imbalances. In Jumpstart into MAT, Greg Roskopf hopes practitioners will adopt the paradigm shift and learn new skills to allow them to better serve their athletes and clients. He lays the foundational tools to help Physical and Rehabilitative Health professionals treat the problem rather than the symptom. By doing so, they have a better chance of minimizing repeated muscle tightening, recurring pain, and further injury.
