Step by Step Mobile Optimization

Aptimize Website Accelerator is a software that speeds up SharePoint websites by 33-75% by reducing round trips between the server and browser. It uses patent pending techniques to optimize pages for performance before sending them to the browser. No additional hardware, code changes, or costs are required. It merges files, removes unused code and images, compresses files, and caches content to improve page load times without any developer work.

Doug Sillars presented four simple optimizations for delivering fast and beautiful images and video on mobile: 1) reduce image quality, 2) use optimized formats like WebP and SVG, 3) size images appropriately, and 4) lazy load images below the fold. He demonstrated how these techniques can significantly reduce page load times and data usage. Sillars also discussed best practices for video delivery and alternatives to animated GIFs that can reduce file sizes substantially. Throughout, he provided real-world examples and tools to help optimize multimedia content for mobile performance.

The document discusses how Akamai's Intelligent Internet Platform addresses challenges posed by increasingly sophisticated websites and rising consumer expectations for faster load times and richer content. It does this through a global network of servers that optimize routing, cache content closer to users, compress data and prefetch resources to accelerate page loads. Case studies show how Akamai has helped customers like Best Buy and Urban Outfitters improve performance, scale to handle traffic spikes and reduce infrastructure costs.

Performance matters. And in the cloud, performance matters more than ever—layers of complexity and third-party, shared environments separate users from applications. Services are elastic, which means you can have any SLA you want, as long as you're willing to design it yourself. And you can have a fast application, too—if you're willing to deal with the bill at the end of the month. So how should you think about cloud performance? In this in-depth workshop on the performance of cloud computing, three cloud computing and Internet performance experts—Steve Riley (Riverbed, Amazon), Hooman Beheshti (Strangeloop, Radware) and Alistair Croll (Coradiant, CloudOps)—take you on a tour of the challenges on-demand computing poses to reliable, fast user experiences. What you'll learn: - The new models of delay, capacity, and uptime that on-demand computing requires - What and how to measure when it comes to performance, and how to think about metrics - Where delay happens across the cloud environment - How shared computing and back-end contention affect user experience - What the WAN and the Application Delivery Network mean in a cloudy compute model - How to spread load and optimize application front-ends to speed up applications

This document discusses 4 simple optimizations that can be made to images on websites to improve performance: 1) Reducing image quality, 2) Using optimized file formats like JPEG, WebP and SVG, 3) Resizing images to actual display size, and 4) Implementing lazy loading so images outside the viewport are not downloaded. It provides examples and data on how each technique can significantly reduce data usage and improve load times.

The document discusses using database permissions to manage application authorization. It describes a basic tiered application architecture with a web server, application, and database layers. Implementing permissions at the database layer avoids limitations of application-managed permissions but requires some additional work. The document outlines approaches for implementing database roles and permissions, integrating them with an application via stored procedures, and handling authentication in the application framework. Both advantages and disadvantages of the database permissions approach are presented, including consistency across layers but lack of direct row-level controls.

This document discusses optimizing mobile application performance through testing. It begins by explaining that performance is a human perception, with delays of 100ms feeling instantaneous, 1s still allowing for an uninterrupted train of thought, and 10s being the limit to maintain focus. It then discusses benchmarking applications to understand current performance, identifying fixes, optimizing through things like image size and format, caching, and lazy loading. The overall message is that thorough testing across devices and networks is needed to optimize mobile applications for speed.

Amazon Simple Workflow Service (SWF) helps developers build, run, and scale background jobs that have parallel or sequential steps. Hi, we are Beamr, a Tel-Aviv based startup doing media optimization. Running on AWS we decided to use SWF in order to orchestrate our video processing workflow. In this lecture, Dan Julius, Beamr’s VP RnD, will explain how SWF helps beamr manage the workflow progress, what challenges it solved, and what things you should keep in mind when using this service.

It covers the technical challenges of implementing Comet, different connection options like long polling and websockets, API styles including pub/sub and data sync approaches, and considerations around inboard vs outboard Comet architectures. The goal of Comet is to make the web more like a persistent connection instead of a traditional request-response model.

This document discusses mobile application performance testing. It begins by explaining how fast is perceived by humans, with 100ms seen as instant, 1s as an acceptable delay, and 10s as the limit to maintain focus. It then discusses various performance studies showing user frustration and abandonment rates related to load speeds. The document goes on to describe benchmarking applications, identifying fixes, optimizing through various techniques, and retesting. Specific areas covered in more depth include optimizing images through size, quality, format, caching and lazy loading. Other topics include content delivery networks, animating GIFs, and network information.

In last 4 years, two new image formats were added to the web technology arsenal -- WebP & JPEG XR. These image formats are far superior to their predecessors, but unfortunately are only supported by very specific browsers, and aren't always easy to generate. Akamai has recently added support for these image formats, and learned a lot in the process. In this short talk, Ido will explain more about these formats and share some of our experience working with them.

This document provides tips for optimizing images for fast loading on mobile websites. It discusses how image size, quality, format, caching, and lazy loading can significantly impact performance. Specific techniques recommended include resizing images to appropriate screen sizes, using formats like WebP and SVG that compress well, lazy loading images below the fold, and adding responsive breakpoints to serve optimized images for different devices. Benchmarking tools are suggested for testing image performance in various scenarios. The overall message is that with the right optimizations, images can load quickly without sacrificing quality.

The document discusses the four types of sentences: interrogative sentences which ask questions and end with question marks, declarative sentences which make statements and usually end with periods, imperative sentences which give commands or directions and can end with periods or exclamation marks, and exclamatory sentences which show strong emotion, begin with "what" or "how", and end with exclamation marks. Examples are provided for each type of sentence.

The document discusses varying sentence structure to make writing more interesting. It provides examples of simple sentences with one clause, compound sentences with two independent clauses joined with coordinating conjunctions or semicolons, and complex sentences with one independent and one dependent clause. The second paragraph is more effective because it uses a variety of sentence structures including compound and complex sentences rather than just simple sentences.

This document provides information on how to vary sentence structure to make writing more interesting. It discusses using simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. Simple sentences contain one independent clause, while compound sentences contain two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. Complex sentences have one independent clause and one dependent clause. Compound-complex sentences contain two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. The document provides examples of each sentence type and guidelines for using commas with different clauses.

The document discusses the four types of sentences: declarative, exclamatory, interrogative, and imperative. A declarative sentence makes a statement, an exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotions and ends with an exclamation point, an interrogative sentence asks a question and ends with a question mark, and an imperative sentence gives a command. It provides examples of each sentence type and has the reader identify the type of four example sentences. In conclusion, it reviews the four sentence types and explains the difference between a sentence and a fragment.

(This version of the presentation is oriented at a web performance audience, and includes some mobile design 101 content) Mobile Web Design is complicated, and several design paradigms have been created to help deal with the challenges the mobile landscape creates. Amongst other implications, each paradigm also carries its own performance pitfalls, which can turn a well designed site into a horribly slow user experience. This presentation covers the top design paradigms - Dedicated Websites (mdot) and Responsive Web Design, gives some background on each, and digs into the performance do's and don'ts for your design of choice.

It focuses on reducing the number of round trips, bytes transferred, and improving caching and page rendering. The document outlines specific FEO techniques companies can implement manually but notes it requires significant resources. It then discusses the emerging FEO automation industry and challenges around automating the process while avoiding breaking pages or optimization issues.

Thomas Higdon from Akamai Technologies discusses how they use OpenNebula to clone virtual machine instances of Akamai's global content delivery network. This allows them to more quickly provision development and testing environments that mimic Akamai's production instances. OpenNebula manages the virtual machines and resources while an Akamai instance service exposes machine types and services. Teams can then use the same instance across development, QA, and testing stages to improve process unification.

Thomas Higdon from Akamai Technologies discusses how they use OpenNebula to clone virtual machine instances of Akamai's global content delivery network. This allows them to more quickly provision development and testing environments that mimic Akamai's production instances. OpenNebula manages the virtual machines and resources while an Akamai instance service exposes specific machine types and services. When changes need testing, they can clone an existing instance to a new environment rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

The document discusses responsive web design and how Akamai solutions can help address common problems with RWD.

It emphasizes that performance is important for user experience, search engine optimization, conversion rates, and costs. It outlines common causes of performance issues like round-trip times, payload sizes, browser rendering delays, and inefficient JavaScript. Specific recommendations are given to optimize images, stylesheets, scripts, and browser rendering through techniques like compression, caching, deferred loading, and efficient coding practices. A variety of tools for measuring and improving performance are also listed.

Serverless means handing off server management to the cloud platforms – along with their security risks. With the “pros” ensuring our servers are patched, what’s left for application owners to protect? As it turns out, quite a lot. This talk discusses the aspects of security serverless doesn’t solve, the problems it could make worse, and the tools and practices you can use to keep yourself safe. Required audience experience Basic knowledge of how FaaS and Serverless works Objective of the talk As many companies explore the world of serverless, it’s important they understand the aspects of security this new world helps them with, and the ones they need to care more about. This talk will provide a framework to understand how to prioritise and approach security for Serverless apps.

Guy Podjarny breaks into a vulnerable serverless application and exploits multiple weaknesses, helping better understand some of the mistakes people make, their implications, and how to avoid them. Video available on: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/serverless-security-2017

Some of the very things that make JavaScript awesome can also leave it exposed. Guy Podjarny and Danny Grander walk through some sample security flaws unique to Node’s async nature and surrounding ecosystem (or especially relevant to it)—e.g., memory leaks via the buffer object, ReDoS and other algorithmic DoS attacks (which impact Node due to its single-threaded nature), and timing attacks leveraging the EventLoop—and show how these could occur in your own code or in npm dependencies.

npm packages are awesome, but also introduce risk. This presentation explains how packages may introduce known vulnerabilities into your application, explains their impact, and most importantly, shows how to protect yourself. The few slides were complemented by running several vulnerability exploits against the vulnerable demo app Goof from here: https://github.com/Snyk/goof

Building software today involves more assembly than actual coding. Much of our code is in fact pulled in open source packages, and the applications heavily rely on surrounding third party binaries. These third parties make us more productive - but they also introduce an enormous risk. Each third party component is a potential source of vulnerabilities or malicious code, each third party service a potential door into our system. This talk contains more information about this risk, create a framework for digesting and tackling it, and lists a myriad of tools that can help.

The web is becoming increasingly image rich. Between high-resolution mobile screens, Pinterest-style design, and big background graphics, the average image payload has more than doubled in the last three years. While visually appealing, these images carry a substantial performance cost, and — if not optimized correctly — can make a web experience slow and painful, no matter how beautiful it is. In this tutorial we’ll discuss ways that let you provide the eye-pleasing experience you want without sacrificing your site’s performance.You’ll learn about the three primary aspects of image optimization: - Image compression: how to best encode your images, delivering the same picture with the fewest bytes - Image loading: once your files are as small as they can be, we’ll cover the best ways to make them show up quickly in the browser - Operationalizing image optimization: different tools and techniques for integrating image optimization on your site Talk given at Velocity Conf EU 2015: http://velocityconf.com/devops-web-performance-eu-2015/public/schedule/detail/45013

When users use our sites, they put their faith in us. They trust we will keep their information from reaching others, believe we provided the information they see, and allow us to run (web) code on their devices. Using HTTPS to secure our conversations is a key part of maintaining this trust. If that’s not motivation enough, the web’s giants are actively promoting HTTPS, requiring it for features such as HTTP2 & ServiceWorker, using it for search engine ranking and more. To make the most of the web, you need to use HTTPS. This deck reviews what HTTPS is, discusses why you should prioritize using it, and cover some of the easiest (and most cost effective) steps to get started using HTTPS
