5 Jul 2010Companies are beginning to fully grasp the need to measure performance from all perspectives: backbone, last mile, mobile, etc. But this need is often driven by the operational perspective – “We need to know how our application/app is doing from all perspectives”. While this is admirable, and better than not measuring at all, turning this [...]
The Complexity of Web Performance
In: Effective Web Performance|Internet|The Web|Web Performance|Web performance concepts|WebPerformance.Org
3 Mar 2010Helping a colleague this week, we uncovered some odd behavior with a site whose performance he was analyzing. Upon first glance, it was clear that this site had a performance issue – they had HTTP persistence disabled. Immediate red flag in the areas of network overhead and geographic latency. Further digging exposed something more sinister. [...]

In: Browsers|Effective Web Performance|Internet|The Web|Web Performance|Web performance concepts|WebPerformance.Org
10 Feb 2010The title is a question I ask because I hear so many different views and perspectives about HTTP compression from the people I work with, colleagues and customers alike.

If your budget is $100 then spend $10 on tools and professional services to implement them, and spend $90 on hiring people to analyze data you collect on your website. The web is quite complex, you [...]

Effective Web Performance

12 Aug 2009Slap up some measurements. Look at some graphs. Make a few calls. Your site is faster. You’re a hero. Right. Effective Web performance is something that requires planning, preparation, execution, and the willingness to try more than once to get things right.

In: Technology|The Web|Web Performance|WebPerformance.Org|business
3 Aug 2009Web performance is everywhere. People intuitively understand that when a site is slow, something’s wrong. Web performance breeds anecdotal tales of lost carts, broken catalogs, and searches gone wrong. Web performance can get you name in lights, but not in the way you or your company would like. It’s a mistake to consider Web performance [...]

19 Aug 2009Every so often, you wake up and realize that the world has changed around you. Or, to say it better, your view of the world has changed so profoundly, but also so subtly and slowly that it is imperceptible unless you take the time to look back at where you came from. Six years ago, [...]
