The 90-Minute Optimization Life Cycle: “Fast by Default” Before Our Eyes?
By now, we’ve all internalized Steve Souders’ rules for optimizing web performance, but the question is: do you need to spend 6 months and raise an army of top developers to make your sites fast by default? In this workshop, we’ll subject an unsuspecting website to real-time optimization, following Google and Yahoo’s rules for high-performance websites.
Over the course of the workshop, we’ll witness the entire optimization life cycle:
- We’ll choose our guinea pig site and use various measurement tools to benchmark current performance, focusing on load time, start render time and round trips.
- We’ll implement A/B segmentation to measure key business metrics like conversion, bounce rate and page views/visit.
- We’ll iterate through acceleration best practices.
- We’ll analyze results from different geographical locations using different browsers.

Thank you for your support- you can find the slides at my blog:

Excellent energy and communication from both presenters. A lot of work obviously went into the slides too. Great introduction to the waterfall technique and some remedies for slow pages to those of us not too familiar with the field.
very interesting comparison side-by-side performance gains/waterfall charts
If they’re share-able, I’d love to see your slides about opportunities for the unsuspecting website’s performance gains :)
