Please Don't Touch the Slow Parts V3

The document discusses various techniques for improving web performance, including: 1. Reducing the number of server requests by concatenating CSS and JavaScript files, using CSS sprites for images, and inlining small images and resources. 2. Optimizing front-end performance by putting stylesheets at the top, scripts at the bottom, loading scripts asynchronously, and batching DOM and CSS changes. 3. Understanding that performance optimizations involve tradeoffs and that the rules can conflict depending on specific user, site, and technical factors. Optimization requires testing across environments.

- 47. Which parts are slow?
- 48. Network is slow
- 49. Less stuff Fewer requests Too many resources Concatenate js/css Css sprites Inline images
- 50. Less stuff Cache requests Resources re-downloaded Expires header Revving Files External js/css Remove etags
- 51. Smaller stuff Compress responses Resources are too big Content-Encoding Gzip Deflate
- 52. Smaller stuff Minify responses Resources are too big js, css, html remove formatting remove comments optimize images use tools
- 53. Closer stuff Use a CDN Resources are too far reduce latency
- 54. Closer stuff Flush document early Server can be slow Chunked encoding
- 55. Browser is slow
