Yahoo! performance chief Steve Souders joined with Plaxo's Chief Platform Architect Joseph Smarr to reprise a couple of talks they gave at OSCON this year. These presentations are now available on YUI Theater.
The Exceptional Performance team has identified 13 rules for making web pages fast. Each rule is discussed in the Developer Network Blog articles listed below.
YSlow analyzes web pages and tells you why they're slow based on the rules for high performance web sites. YSlow is a Firefox add-on integrated with the popular Firebug web development tool. We are releasing YSlow on Wednesday July 25th at OSCon. This tool has helped improve the performance on over 50 Yahoo! properties by 25-50%. We're pleased to be able to share this with the development community so that others can join us in accelerating the user experience on the web!
Research conducted by the Exceptional Performance team is documented in the following Yahoo! User Interface Blog articles.
On May 11, 2007 our slides from the Web 2.0 Expo conference reached #2 across all topics with 1127 diggs in one day. See the full digg comments here.
YSlow development is discussed on the Exceptional Performance Group. Use this group if you have questions, issues, or need technical support.
