Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization shows you how to shrink the size of your web pages and reduce their complexity for maximum speed. Not everyone has cable modems or the luxury of a T1 line. With 56.6K modems still in many households, it's increasingly important for web sites to be optimized for faster download times. Face it, consumers are impatient. By maximizing page display speed, bailout rates are reduced and bandwidth costs are minimized. The result is happier users and happier bosses. This book emphasizes valid code and languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Everything that goes into creating a web site is covered, from optimizing HTML and XHTML, to CSS, graphics, JavaScript, multimedia, and server-based techniques. Throughout the book, real-world examples illustrate the techniques discussed, with before and after code and percentage savings. Finally, 20 popular web sites are analyzed over time, reviewing how their size and complexity have changed since 1996.
