SearchLove London 2016 | Dom Woodman | How to Get Insight From Your LogsDistilled
In the SEO industry, we obsess on everything Google says, from John Mueller dropping a hint in a Webmaster Hangout, to the ranking data we spend £1000s to gather. Yet we ignore the data Google throws at us every day, the crawling data. For the longest time, site crawls, traffic data, and rankings have been the pillars of SEO data gathering. Log files should join them as something everyone is doing. We'll go through how to get everything set-up, look at some of the tools to make it easy and repeatable and go through the kinds of analysis you can do to get insights from the data.
From redirects to insecure content to duplicate content, everyone screws up https. Even top-tier developers get this wrong, and the results can be devastating.

51. #SMX #13A @AlexisKSanders
• AMP doesn’t let extension mechanisms (e.g., lightboxes,
Instagram embeds, tweets, IFrames, etc.) block page rendering
• All custom scripts must tell AMP system what it will become
• E.g., amp-instagram script tells the system that there will be an amp-
instagram tag. AMP creates the Instagram embed box before it even
knows what it will include
Extensions and embeds don’t block rendering page layout

Proposal:
• Run on a web worker that receives user gesture events
• Run inside a custom-built sandbox & virtual DOM environment in the worker
• 3P script will have max file size
Third-Party JavaScript not allowed yet (but it’s in queue)

53. #SMX #13A @AlexisKSanders
• Runtime cost of analytics instrumentation is independent of
number of used providers
• No additional, unnecessary JavaScript
• No superfluous use of CPU
One analytics tag’s sunk cost is spread out for multiple
analytics tags

Byte Math:
• 1 character = 1 byte
• 1,000 bytes = 1 kB
• 50 kB = 50,000 bytes
• 50,000 bytes = 50,000 characters
• AMP allows 50,000 characters of inline CSS.

GPU (graphics processing unit):
• Hardware designed to take huge
batches of data and perform
repetitive operations quickly
• Take heavy calculations (needed for
graphic rendering) burden off CPU
(which tends to skip all over the
place)
• Gives us buttery smooth transition,
opacity, and transformation animations
Only run GPU-accelerated CSS animations

Fonts require zero HTTP requests (Asynchronous

• Ensure HTTP requests are as

• Doesn’t prerender things that

• Prefetch lazy-loaded
resources
AMP use extensive resource hinting
62. #SMX #13A @AlexisKSanders
A proxy-based CDN that enables AMP to:
1. Validate AMP documents
2. Cache resources (including: HTML,
images, fonts, etc.) under 12MB
3. Add performance optimizations
4. Rewrite URLs to normalize parsing
Google AMP Cache
https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/overview
63. #SMX #13A @AlexisKSanders
Preloads AMP pages
Serves AMP over a secure channel
Leverages same-origin loading of resources via HTTP 2.0
Adds prefetch hint tags for browsers
Image optimizations
– Conversion of images to WebP
– Removal of image metadata
– Generations of alternative sized versions of image
– Adding image SRCSET attributes
– If “Save-Data” header is set to “on” lowers image quality
Google AMP Cache - Optimizations
https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/overview
64. #SMX #13A @AlexisKSanders
• HTML comments and whitespace inside tags are removed
• Tag and attribute names are lowercased
• Text is escaped
• Attribute values are consistently quoted and escaped
• All tags are closed (except for HTML5 void elements)
• Elements that can only be in the body get moved into the body
• Encoded text characters are simplified, using UTF-8 equivalent
characters
• Outbound links are made absolute

• Prune code (and HTML markup),
cut anything not being used
• Compress text-based assets (gzip,
brotli, zopfli)
• Consolidate multiple HTTP
redirect chains
• Use system fonts (where possible)
• Cache static resources
• Leverage resource hinting (aka
pre-* party)
• Activate HTTP/2
• Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML
Could focus efforts optimizing your main site’s speed
• Ensure JavaScript and CSS aren’t
interfering with critical path
(inline, defer in HTML, or add
“async” tag)
• Consider conditionally serving
code
• Use a CDN (if geographically
diverse user-based)
• Optimize images (compress,
serve right image format/size on
particular device, lazy load, cache
appropriately, “save-data”
header, sprites, etc.)
• Consider implementing PWA

Challenge: it's difficult to distribute and verify the authenticity of applications and content without a connection to the network.
Goal: This attempt is instead motivated by avoiding a connection to the origin server at all.
