Hi all, Nowadays we have lots of tools to improve our website performance and provide error less output. http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ The authority tool in optimizing your website and gaining additional speed. http://www.gomez.com/multi-browser-performance-test/ To run our website with various browsers...
I can't figure out HOW the second makes your website faster? only things to make sites faster is get into the code, optimalise queries to the database, make CSS/JS/HTML files smaller and 100% valid!
None of the tools make your website faster! YSlow and Google Page Speed addon give you suggestions what you have to do to improve your websites loading speeds. That's not 100% correct. Valid code is not really necessary. Minifying/combining CSS/JSS, using CSS sprites (depends on how much graphics you have), using content compression on your server, using a cookieless domain, optimizing image files, leveraging browser caching, optimize order of styles and scripts, ... those help to improve loading speed. I have written posts, blog posts, slide on slideshare and scribd about Front-End Performace Optimizing. The installation of YSlow and Google Page Speed addon for Firefox does not help ... YOU have to do the work yourself.
