15. Top 10 Tips

16. 1: Hardware + Platform Buy good hardware Dedicated SQL Server Web Cluster SCSI RAID Lots of RAM Multiple CPUs SQL Server Sizing + tuning + indexing Blob cache Warning: No secrets here Goal: Server processing < 1 second

17. 2. Far-Future Expires Reduce repeat-view load times 50%+ Browser caches resources Doesn’t check again until expiry Reduces HTTP requests 90% Challenge: Refreshing changes Code: Add This HTTP Header to eachresource Expires:Wed, 13 Oct 2010 04:02:35 GMT

18. 3. Gzip Compression Reduce first view load time 30%-40% Reduces size: HTML JavaScript StyleSheets No effect on images: (JPEG, PNG, GIF) Check for HTTP request header Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

19. 4. Optimize JavaScript Reduce load time 7%-10% Merge JavaScript files into single file Shrink JavaScript Remove comments Remove whitespace Challenges: Preserving functionality Maintenance

20. 5. Optimize StyleSheets Reduce start render up to 75% Merge StyleSheets into single file Shrink CSS in StyleSheet Place StyleSheet at beginning of HTML Page render starts after all StyleSheets are loaded Challenges: Maintenance

21. 6. Image Sprites Reduce load 5%-15% Merge images into multi-image sprite Change HTML to use sprite HTTP requests reduced Challenges: Maintaining the sprite Changing HTML

22. 7. Image Inlining Reduce load times 1%-10% Base64 encode CSS background images Embed encoded data into CSS file Reduces HTTP requests Challenges Maintainability Browser compatibility

23. 8. Reduce external references Reduce ads and syndication Ads YouTube videos Links to external sites Each link opens a new connection Each increases load time ≈ 0.5 seconds Solution: Load at the end of page Load in an iframe

24. 9. Flash and Silverlight Don’t use Flash on home page Silverlight on home page Both add Load time Start render time LOADING… 15%

25. 10. Security Use Kerberos instead of NTLM Reduces HTTP 401 network traffic  Requires extra configuration in AD  Only use SSL where you really need it Consumes CPU cycles Content not cacheable

26. TOP 3 Rules

27. Rule 1: Compress Everything Load times reduced 30%. On the Web, Smaller is Better.

28. Rule 2: Merge Files

29. Merge Files - Results Before After 50% reduction Load times reduced 20%. On the Web, Less is More

30. Rule 3: Increase Caching Cache static resources on browser to speed up repeat views Before After Repeat view load time reduced from 4.5 to 1.9 seconds

31. Silverlight + Flash Use JavaScript instead Pay attention to size Remove references Compress images Don’t embed videos
