Speed! presentation given at the CMS Expo on May 2011. Presentation talks about why it is important to speed up a website and how to do it.
This document discusses optimizing WordPress performance. It recommends minimizing frontend assets like CSS and images, using caching plugins to improve load times, optimizing themes and plugins, and choosing a fast web server like Nginx. Real-world tests show Nginx outperforming Apache. Specific tips include simplifying themes, deleting unused plugins, moving scripts to the bottom, and using a CDN with caching plugins to serve static assets quickly. The document emphasizes improving perceived performance through responsiveness, feedback and progressive loading.
Nobody likes a slow website. Faster sites lead to happier users, and happier users lead to more conversions and revenue. That’s why you should take performance into account in your WordPress project. Learn what practical techniques and WordPress plugins to use in order to optimize your site for speed.
The document discusses various levels of WordPress optimization. Level 1 focuses on keeping WordPress updated, using caching plugins like W3 Total Cache, deactivating unused plugins, and reviewing themes. Level 2 includes offloading images, feedburning RSS feeds, repairing the MySQL database, and using multiple subdomains. Level 3 suggests logging slow queries, profiling with tools, using a CDN, optimizing images, and using an opcode cache. Level 4 covers more advanced techniques like reverse proxying with Nginx, Varnish caching, Memcache, HyperDB, and static hosting on S3. The document advises against editing core files and notes that Amazon EC2 alone does not optimize performance.
This document discusses the power of including video content on websites. It provides statistics that show video helps convey emotion to customers, drive traffic and sales. It recommends including types of video like product demonstrations, instructions and testimonials. It also discusses tools for creating a video library like self-hosting or using third parties, and video gallery plugins that can display videos. It provides best practices like using keywords and catchy titles to optimize videos, and tips for promoting videos through email, landing pages and social media.
Every website has to improve their speed or otherwise they are just giving away easy customer conversions, higher rankings and overall better user experience.
Optimizing the performance of WordPress by Josh Highland of NewLeaf Labs. Presentation was given at Orange County WordCamp 2011
Front-end performance optimizing involves optimizing a website's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files to achieve the fastest possible loading speed. This includes minimizing HTTP requests by combining files, compressing files, optimizing code by removing unused code and errors, leveraging browser caching, and parallelizing downloads across domains. The document outlines nine techniques for front-end optimization, such as optimizing file sizes, reducing download size through compression and caching, and minimizing HTTP requests through file combining and CSS sprites.
Yahoo has developed the de facto standard for building fast front-ends for websites. The bad news: you have to follow 34 rules to get there. The good news: I'll take a subset of those rules, explain them, and show how you can implement those rules in an automated fashion to minimize impact on developers and designers for your high-traffic website.

7 ways to speed up a website are discussed: choosing a lightweight theme, disabling unnecessary plugins, optimizing files by minifying CSS/JS and image compression, implementing caching, using a content delivery network (CDN), cleaning up the database, and optimizing theme and plugin performance. The document provides details on each method, emphasizing measuring site speed before and after changes, using appropriate tools, and backing up the site when making optimizations. The overall message is that many small improvements can significantly increase site speed.
Learn why you should improve your WordPress site's loading speed, and what steps to take to load your site in under two seconds.
This document discusses techniques for improving perceived performance of websites. It explains that perceived performance is how quickly a site seems to load from a user's perspective, rather than actual technical performance metrics. Some key techniques discussed include using skeleton screens, progressive enhancement, and showing loading progress to trick users into thinking a site is loading faster than it actually is. The document also advocates for measuring real user performance data through APIs to identify actual bottlenecks and prioritize improvements.
This document provides an introduction and overview of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for web development. It covers the basics of each language, including common tags and elements in HTML, syntax and selectors in CSS, and how to incorporate JavaScript in HTML pages. It also discusses tools used for web development and lists learning resources for further studying HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
WordPress Multisite allows multiple sites to run under a single WordPress installation. UpDraftPlus and BackWPUp are popular plugins for backing up sites. A child theme allows modifications to an existing theme's files while still receiving updates, whereas a custom theme requires building all files from scratch. Local development tools like WAMP, DesktopServer, and Local by Flywheel allow running WordPress locally with PHP and MySQL. Source code repositories like GitHub and code editors help with development workflow.
It requires 50% more concentration when using badly performing website. Make it easier for your users, not harder… A faster website can help your website in many ways. The faster the website, the lower the bounce rate and the higher the conversions. This mean higher sales, ad revenue and ultimately money. Here are 10 ways you can speed up your website: Hosting Provider – Who is hosting your website and how are they hosting it? Utilize Caching – Page Cache, Database Cache, Object Cache, Browser Cache, Reverse Proxy Combine CSS and JS files – Load JS in the footer whenever possible Use a CDN -A Content Delivery Network (CDN) will ‘put a rocket behind your static content’ Reduce and Optimize Images – Use CSS3 whenever and wherever possible, save images for web Use Compression – Save bandwidth and speed up your website Use Sprites – Load JS in the footer whenever possible Monitor Your Website – CPU usage, Physical Memory, Average Load, Disk I/O utilization, Network I/O Optimize your Database Regularly – Optimizing database tables regularly will help improve website performance Mobile and Tablet Optimization – Use CSS3 Media Queries, JS and service-side technology to speed up devices
This document summarizes challenges faced by the Flipkart frontend team. It discusses how they handle over 4 million pageviews per day across browsers using an in-house CDN. Key challenges include secure cross-domain calls, scalable CSS, and cleaning up old code. Techniques used include iframes, window.postMessage(), and window.name for cross-domain transport. The document also covers their approach to webfonts, CSS architecture using OCSS, and an experimental tool to clean up redundant CSS declarations.
My improved presentation on how to speed up Wordpress and optimize it's performance. Also covers why we still need to care about page load time.
The document summarizes many of the new features introduced in PHP 5, including an overhauled object model with reference handling, visibility, constructors and destructors. It also discusses the Standard PHP Library (SPL) which provides classes and interfaces to solve common problems. New functions, extensions and other language improvements like type hinting and exceptions are covered. The presentation encourages developers to adopt PHP 5 features for improved object oriented programming.
