Some key changes include new semantic elements like <article>, <aside>, <header>, and <footer>; built-in support for audio and video; the <canvas> element for drawing graphics; and forms with new input types. HTML 5 aims to simplify HTML and separate structure and presentation, making code cleaner and pages more accessible. It is developed jointly by the WHATWG and W3C organizations.
The document discusses the importance of website performance and provides tips to build responsive websites. It notes that users expect pages to load within 2 seconds and will leave slow sites. The tips include reducing HTTP requests, gzipping and minifying components, optimizing images, delivering JavaScript and CSS efficiently, lazy loading images, and inlining critical CSS. Following these foundations and techniques can significantly improve load times and user experience.
BaláZs Ree Introduction To Kss, Kinetic Style SheetsVincenzo Barone
KSS, Kinetic Style Sheets, is a framework that enables developers to create rich (AJAX) user interfaces without knowing javascript at all. KSS itself is by default included with Plone3 and is also usable with Zope3. In the future we plan to make it available for other pythonic and non-pythonic platforms as well. During the demonstration we give a step by step introduction to adding dynamic behaviour to your browser page by the KSS stylesheet and server side only python code. We also introduce the setup and debugging skills needed to add dynamicity to your application. The targeted audience for the demo are Plone developers and integrators, familiar with server side Plone scripting. A basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is also needed. As a result you will get an introduction to the usage of KSS. Knowledge of javascript is not needed for attending the demonstration.

Brian Moon discusses the evolution of the architecture of dealnews.com from a single server setup in the late 1990s to a clustered architecture in 2008. The initial setup encountered bottlenecks with software load balancing and using NFS. They overcame these by implementing hardware load balancing, dropping NFS, and using Memcached for caching. As traffic increased from sites like Digg and Yahoo!, they added more servers, offloaded static content to a CDN, and implemented a custom caching proxy and "pushed cache" to prevent stampeding. Their current architecture loads balances incoming traffic with F5 BIG-IP and uses replication and load balancing for the database.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

18. 3. Caching
‣ Controlled by HTTP headers
‣ Browsers check whether content is fresh
‣ Set Expires header to a date in the far future
– <Location /css>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
</Location>
‣ Drupal default: 2 weeks
‣ Change filenames/URLs when updating
18 Konstantin Käfer
19. 4. GZip
‣ Compress text content (don’t use for images!)
– <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css application/x-javascript
</IfModule>
‣ Vastly reduces page size (often halfs)
‣ Compress scripts and styles as well
19 Konstantin Käfer
20. 5. CSS to the top
‣ == in <head>
‣ Page renders when all header CSS is loaded
‣ Loading CSS later causes re-rendering and
Flash of Unstyled Content
‣ Use <link> instead of @import

‣ == right before </body>
‣ Loading scripts blocks page rendering
‣ Scripts are loaded sequentially!
(At least in most current browsers)
‣ Don’t use onfoo handlers in HTML code
‣ Graceful degradation
6. Scripts to the bottom
22. 7. Minify CSS and JS
‣ Remove comments and whitespace
‣ Still savings, even with GZip
‣ Drupal’s aggregator or sf_cache.module

23. 8. Parallelization
‣ “A single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain
more than 2 connections with any server
or proxy.” (RFC 2616, 8.1.4)
‣ Use multiple host names ➔ higher
parallelization
(Don’t overdo it)
‣ Most current browsers use > 2 connections
‣ http://stevesouders.com/ua/
23 Konstantin Käfer
24. 8. Parallelization
‣ Ensure proper distribution
‣ Webpage Test graphs:

25. 9. Reduce image weight
‣ OptiPNG, PNGCrush, ...
– Removes invisible content by lossless recompression
‣ JPEGtran/ImageMagick: Lossless JPEG operations
– Remove color profiles, meta data, …
‣ ImageOptim: Batch compression
‣ smushit.com – now integrated into YSlow
‣ punypng.com – supposedly more efficient
25 Konstantin Käfer
26. 10. Lazy initialization
‣ JavaScript takes time to initialize
– Libraries such as jQuery also count
– Defer setup work
‣ Only load content above the fold
– jQuery plugin: http://bit.ly/NpZPn
– Useful on image-heavy sites
‣ Don’t load invisible content (tabs) on page load
26 Konstantin Käfer
27. 11. Other optimizations
‣ “Premature optimization is the root of all evil”
—Donald Knuth
‣ Only if you have optimized everything else
‣ Strategies
– Move components to cookieless host
– Remove ETags
– Load order (see http://stevesouders.com/cuzillion/)

28. Render a usable version
as early as possible.
