In his popular "High Performance Web Sites", Steve Souders showed that 14 straightforward rules could substantially speed up the display of web sites and the sites' responsiveness. His new book presents 18 new rules that have developed from his work as web operations manager at Yahoo! and Google. In his first book, Souders demonstrated that 80 per cent of the time required by a web pageto load is taken up in browser activity and communication between browser andweb server. Noticeable improvements in responsiveness-improvements that can keep users coming back to your site instead of a competitor's - can be achievedby making adjustments in how you serve images and scripts, manage caching, choose page elements, and other simple aspects of web operations. Souders is in high demand at conferences and other venues frequented by web operations staff. His tool Yslow (part of the Firefox debugging tool, Firebug) demonstrates his principles and offers a tool for both learning and doing performance testingon your own site. Using Yslow and other tools, Steve analyzes the performanceof several popular web sites in this book, synthesizing the insights in his rules.
