Speedy Websites Through Better Front-End Optimizations
Sunday February 26, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Websites are not always slow due to poor server-side code or database queries. Learn how to identify potential issues using YSlow and Google Page Speed to implement best practice changes to drastically optimize the front-end performance of your web pages. Front-end optimization helps to keep your users engaged, improve general server performance and reduce hosting/bandwith costs. A little front-end optimization elbow grease can yeild dramatic results.
During this presentation, we will take a poorly performing "mock" website, use tools to investigate issues and then make the appropriate coding and configuration changes to improve performance.
