- 26. What they did Combining multiple CSS and JavaScript files to reduce external page calls. Serving static content from a domain without cookies. Leveraging browser and server-side caching wherever possible. Compressing image file sizes on output, and serving .png wherever possible. Asking rich media vendors and the Internet ad industry at large to take performance considerations into account when building and serving rich media ads. Any improvements made will ultimately benefit the advertiser, the server, the publisher and the user. © 2010 Strangeloop Networks Strangeloop. Faster Websites. Automatically.

Editor's Notes
- #4: 5-) Outputs on Inputs Top employer in the province Clear on results Set goals Treat yourself and others as adults.
- #5: How much was fast enough? It was anybody’s guess.
- #7: And guess they did. This is Zona’s formula for patience, the basis for the “eight second rule.” Unfortunately, things like tenacity, importance, and natural patience aren’t concrete enough for the no-nonsense folks that run web applications.
- #8: And guess they did. This is Zona’s formula for patience, the basis for the “eight second rule.” Unfortunately, things like tenacity, importance, and natural patience aren’t concrete enough for the no-nonsense folks that run web applications.
- #10: IT operators and marketers are completely different people. What convinces an IT person to fix performance doesn’t convince a marketer. They want to know how it will impact the business fundamentals.
- #12: One example of this is performance experimentation that Google’s done. Google’s a perfect lab. Not only do they have a lot of traffic, they also have computing resources to do back-end analysis of large data sets. Plus, they’re not afraid of experimentation – in fact, they insist on it. So they tried different levels of performance and watched what happened to visitors.
- #14: The results, which they presented at Velocity in May, were fascinating. There was a direct impact between delay and the number of searches a user did each day – and to make matters worse, the numbers often didn’t improve even when the delay was removed. You may think 0.7% drop isn’t significant, but for Google this represents a tremendous amount of revenue.
- #15: Microsoft’s Bing site is a good lab, too. They looked at key metrics, or KPIs, of their search site.
- #17: They showed that as performance got worse, all key metrics did, too. Not just the number of searches, but also the revenue (earned when someone clicks) and refinement of searches.
- #18: Microsoft’s Bing site is a good lab, too. They looked at key metrics, or KPIs, of their search site.
- #20: Shopzilla overhauled their entire site, dramatically reducing page load time, hardware requirements, and downtime.
- #21: They saw a significant increase in revenues

So they tried different levels of performance and watched what happened to visitors.
- #32: If we want to convince marketing, we need to measure business metrics.
- #33: By tying performance and availability to Key Performance Indicators – KPIs – business and operations can finally have a conversation.
- #34: So what KPIs would we like to learn about? This is what web analytics folks work by, whether they’re running a media site, a SaaS platform, a transactional application, or a collaborative social network. It’s what the business cares about.
- #35: Strangeloop agreed to set up an experiment using their technology which would help measure this.
