WebSite Optimization

2009-06-15

Searching the Internet to optimize my website i found this great article from Yahoo Developer Network .
There is a list including 34 best practices divided into 7 categories, for speeding up your website.

We choose 7 of them just to saw you an example:

1. Don�t Scale Images in HTML
2. Make favicon.ico Small and Cacheable
3. Avoid using iframes (and frames either)
4. Use GET for AJAX Requests, because POST method is implemented in the browsers as a two-step process: sending the headers first, then sending data.
5. Avoid scripts duplication
6. Minify JavaScript and CSS, you can use JSMin and YUI Compressor to achieve this goal
7. Put client side scripts at the bottom, some scripts can be placed at the bottom but some may not, so use it as neccessary
