Web Performance is a serious issues these days. 80% of web performance issues are in the client. Many developers either do not realize what they are leaving on the table and how that affects the success of their application. These are 10 things any web developer can do in about 30-60 minutes to drastically increase page load times and thus increase the application's profitability.

Web Developers are excited to use HTML 5 features but sometimes they need to explain to their non-technical boss what it is and how it can benefit the company. This presentation provides just enough information to share the capabilities of this new technologies without overwhelming the audience with the technical details.

After viewing this slideshow you will probably give your web developer the "go ahead" to upgrade your current HTML 4 website to HTML 5. You will also understand why web developers don't like IE (Internet Explorer) and why they always want you to keep your browser updated to latest version. "I have seen the future. It's in my browser" is the slogan used by many who have joined the HTML 5 revolution.

Frederick Townes presented on optimizing websites for performance. He discussed working backwards from user experience, prioritizing the largest issues. Factors that can improve performance include front-end and back-end optimization, reducing payload size, caching, optimizing databases and runtime, reducing workload, and using content delivery networks. Key metrics to measure include page load time, time to first byte, and time on site. Common cases like JavaScript optimization and recommended plugins were also covered.

Technical SEO involves optimizing a website to improve search engine rankings through both on-page and off-page factors. It focuses on improving the technical aspects of a website like XML sitemaps, robots.txt files, page speed, and structured data to help search engines better index and understand the site. Regular audits and optimization of these technical elements can positively impact how search engines view and rank a website.

The document discusses techniques for optimizing website performance, including making fewer HTTP requests, leveraging browser caching with cache control headers, minimizing component sizes, optimizing asset delivery through techniques like sprites and concatenation, and following front-end performance best practices. It provides examples of how major sites implement various optimizations and shares results from experiments measuring the impact of optimizations on response times.

The document discusses techniques for improving website performance, including: 1. Focusing on front-end optimizations as they account for 80-90% of response time. 2. Following the 80/20 rule - optimizing the 20% of code that affects 80% of response time like assets on the front-end. 3. Using techniques like image sprites, combined scripts and stylesheets, CDNs, caching, gzip compression, and reducing cookie sizes and HTTP requests to improve response times.

We all know that site speed matters not only for users but also for search rankings. As marketers, how can we measure and improve the impact of site speed? Mat will cover a range of topics and tools, from the basic quick wins to some of the more surprising and cutting-edge techniques used by the largest websites in the world.

This document summarizes two enterprise content management implementations at Continental Airlines - an internal document system and a customer-facing website content system. For the internal system, Continental developed a process to build a structured system where users can tag files with metadata to enable filtered searching. For the customer-facing system, Continental used SharePoint to reduce their content approval process from two months to two days by structuring metadata and workflows. SharePoint was also used to feed modular content to their website to allow for repurposing of content across channels.
