Raiders of the Fast Start: Frontend Performance Archeology
There are a lot of books, articles, and online tutorials out there with fantastic advice on how to make your websites performant. It all seems easy in theory, but applying best practices to real-world code is anything but straightforward. Diagnosing and fixing frontend performance issues on a large legacy codebase is like being an archaeologist excavating the remains of a lost civilization. You don’t know what you will find until you start digging!
Pick up your trowels and come along with Etsy’s Frontend Systems team as we become archaeologists digging into frontend performance on our large, legacy mobile codebase. I’ll share real-life lessons you can use to guide your own excavations into legacy code:
What tools and metrics we used to diagnose issues and track progress.
How we went beyond server-driven best practices to focus on the client.
Which fixes successfully increased conversion, and which didn’t.
Our work, like all good archaeology, went beyond artifacts and unearthed new insights into our culture. We at Etsy pride ourselves on our culture of performance, but, like all cultures, it needs to adapt and reinvent itself to account for changes to the landscape. Based on what we’ve learned, we are making the case for a new, organization-wide, frontend-focused performance culture that will solve the problems we face today.

SEO in 2019: The Latest Trends and Changes in Search Engine OptimizationPam Ann Marketing
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is evolving all the time, becoming more and more complex with each passing year.
Although SEO is more complex than ever, it is still hands-down one of the most effective digital marketing tactics. Search engines, unlike any other digital marketing channel, bring "high-intent-to-buy" users to your website. These users are specifically searching for your company's products and services, because they want or need them now or soon!
Since SEO has such high conversion potential, it is crucial for all in-house marketers to incorporate SEO into their digital marketing strategies, and to ensure that their brands are keeping up with the latest SEO trends.
In this presentation, I will:
-Review the basic optimizations that still very much matter in modern-day SEO
-Discuss the latest trends and new SEO requirements that go far beyond keywords and meta tags
-Give simple, actionable steps that can be taken to modernize your SEO strategy
Technical SEO Checklist: How to Optimize a WordPress Site for Search Engine C...Pam Ann Marketing
Tending to the technical side of SEO is crucial to ensure that search engine robots can effectively crawl, index, and understand your site. In this session, attendees will learn how to optimize WordPress sites for important technical SEO best practices.
All levels of technical optimizations will be covered from basic to intermediate to advanced, including both traditional optimizations that have been around for a long time, as well as newer modern SEO optimizations including AMP and Schema markup. We will walk through a checklist of important technical SEO best practices, and I will highlight my favorite SEO plugins, tools, and resources along the way.
How I learned to stop worrying and love UX metricsTammy Everts
This talk at the 2018 performance.now() conference (Amsterdam) walks through a brief history of UX and web performance research, highlighting landmark studies that helped connect the dots between performance and user experience. I also demystify the current state of performance metrics and help you understand what you need to focus on for your site and your users.
This session is for users, designers, and developers who already know the basics of SEO. In this session, you will learn beyond-basic strategies for taking your SEO to the next level.
Optimizing web performance (Fronteers edition)Dave Olsen
Today, a web page can be delivered to desktop computers, televisions, or handheld devices like tablets or phones. While a technique like responsive design helps ensure that our web sites look good across that spectrum of devices we may forget that we need to make sure that our web sites also perform well across that same spectrum. More and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds with some moving entirely to mobile Internet.
In this session we’ll look at the tools that can help you understand, measure and improve the web performance of your web sites and applications. The talk will also discuss how new server-side techniques might help us optimize our front-end performance. Finally, since the best way to test is to have devices in your hand, we’ll discuss some tips for getting your hands on them cheaply.
2021 Chrome Dev Summit: Web Performance 101Tammy Everts
What do we mean when we talk about "web performance"? Why should you care about it? How can measure it? How do you get other people in your organization to care? In this workshop at the 2021 Chrome Dev Summit, I covered these questions – including an overview of the history of performance metrics, up to Core Web Vitals.
If you want a fast web site, you have to get a lot of things right. It's worth it - revenue rises steeply if you can get load times under 2 seconds. This is my ever-growing list of tips, tricks and warnings about improving page speed load times.
jQuery Mobile, Backbone.js, and ASP.NET MVCTroy Miles
Websites designed for smart phones are one of the fastest growing segments of the internet. jQuery Mobile makes it easy to create sites for mobile devices, but it is mostly about UI. It doesn’t address the needs of an enterprise application. Things like how to load data from and persist data to the server, how to tie the JavaScript and HTML together, and minimize the amount of data transmitted. In this session I will show how to combine jQuery Mobile with Backbone.js and a ASP.NET Web API back-end. The end result is a website which is fast, efficient, and easy to enhance and maintain.
SearchLove San Diego 2018 | Mat Clayton | Site Speed for Digital MarketersDistilled
We all know that site speed matters not only for users but also for search rankings. As marketers, how can we measure and improve the impact of site speed? Mat will cover a range of topics and tools, from the basic quick wins to some of the more surprising and cutting-edge techniques used by the largest websites in the world.
Everyone loves fast sites. While "make your site faster" is a simple mantra, the actual steps to achieve this can be daunting. Fortunately, we know where to start: JavaScript. JavaScript consumes more CPU than loading, layout, and rendering combined. Byte-for-byte, JavaScript inflicts more delays on sites than any other resource, and yet the amount of JavaScript on sites continues to grow.
In this session you'll learn the latest techniques for measuring and improving the impact JavaScript on your site, including: using the User Timing Spec and Long Tasks API to track the CPU cost of JavaScript for real users, moving expensive JavaScript off the main thread, using code coverage tools to reduce your JavaScript, and understanding why defer is probably a better technique than async for loading JavaScript.
TechSEO Boost 2017: SEO Best Practices for JavaScript T-Based WebsitesCatalyst
While providing a dynamic and fast user experience, JavaScript-based sites (SPAs/PWAs) are not always “SEO friendly.” Therefore, it is crucial for developers to understand how search engines crawl, parse, eventually render, and index dynamic websites, to make sure bots get the experience they developed and the content of the site.
Web Performance & You - HighEdWeb Arkansas VersionDave Olsen
Today, a web page can be delivered to a desktop computer, a television, or a handheld device like a tablet or a phone.

While more and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds our development practices might not be keeping up.In this session we’ll review why optimizing web performance should be an important step in the development of responsive websites. We’ll look at the tools that can help you understand and measure the performance of those sites as well as discuss front-end and server-side techniques that can be used to help you improve their performance. Finally, since the best way to test your site is to have real devices in hand, we’ll share “lessons learned” so you can set-up your own device lab similar to what we have at West Virginia University.This presentation builds upon Dave’s “Optimization for Mobile” chapter in Smashing Magazine’s “The Mobile Book.”

AMP is coming to improve the mobile web. Big time.
There are many aspect to a great user experience on sites.
In order to improve the speed of the media websites on mobile and the monetization, we needed few things:
1. Fast pages. Fast to load, fast to display, saving bandwidth when possible.
2. Easy for the developers and companies to create. Only based on known and widely used technologies.
3. Mobile Friendly: they should respect a standard and thanks to this standard, pages would be automatically optimized for mobile devices
4. Embrace the open web: non-proprietary technology, open source, available to anyone to use and improve. It should not only help for search engines, but for everyone.
In these slides, we will cover AMP and what it can do for you.

M Dot Extinction: The Next Evolution of Mobile WebMobify
The technology world is facing an extinction – m.dot sites are slowly but surely dying out, and for good reason.
A survey of the Internet Retailer 500 found that m.dot sites for ecommerce dropped from 79% in 2013 to 59% in 2014, and the trend continues. While numbers still need to be confirmed for this past year, m.dot sites were expected to lose 50% share in 2015.
Unlike the dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, for which the reasons are still widely debated, m.dots are an outdated technology and the reasons for their demise are clear. While m.dots were a huge improvement to serving the desktop site to mobile shoppers, they have failed to evolve with customers’ rising expectations and advancements in technology.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

EDGE
• DNS matters, don’t let any CDN tell you otherwise. Call
them on it
