What is your biggest problem in improving the loading of pages? Browser caching, cookieless domain, downloads across hostnames or something else?
Yea, I know, .htaccess + few meta tags, but how about cookies for static resources? CSS and images? Any easy (read: cheap) way?
Off the top of my head, I'd say make sure the main sites cookies are set for "www.domain.com" and not just "domain.com". That way you should be able to setup a subdomain "rc.domain.com" and point it at your image/css/etc folder. Using something besides a subdomain kind of defeats the purpose, because it would mean another DNS lookup.
I tried the same page - the first time with images on my server, second time with pictures on my CDN (6 images 57,1 Kb). The results follow: 1.) PS = 99, YSlow = 95; 1,7 sec load time 2.) PS = 90, YSlow = 87; 1,3 sec load time In the second case I got a warning "Minimize DNS lookups" and "Leverage browser caching" although the site had served 25% faster. Does anyone know how to get greater authority over Google App Engine?
I don't see a score value anywhere (1~100) All I get is... Overall performance summary: [This site follows the Page Speed performance guidelines. Nice job!] Cheers James
Ah, I see, needed to update FF to get it. One of my sites Home page 85/100 internal pages 86~89/100 My blog (Blogger) Homepage 69/100 internal pages 64~70/100
