5. Building High Performance Web Applications ..............................................................................................................

6. High Performance? .............................................................................................................. ..............................................................................................................

7. Performance Engineering ‣Reduce HTTP Requests. ‣ Use Image Sprites. ‣

   CSS at the top, JS at the Bottom. ‣ CSS & JS Minified and Concatenated. ‣ Use a CDN for Static Assets. .............................................................................................................. ..............................................................................................................

8. BUT THAT AIN’T ENOUGH ! .............................................................................................................. ..............................................................................................................

9. None

10. Traditional Methods are no Longer Enough. ‣ Lazy Loading FTW!

    ‣ Prevent Frontend SPOF. ‣ Early Flush / Chunked Responses. ‣ Async Script Loading. ‣ Google SPDY. ..............................................................................................................

11. http://blog.patrickmeenan.com/2011/10/testing-for- frontend-spof.html Frontend SPOF

12. Lazy Loading ‣ Load Scripts on Demand. ‣ Progressive Rendering

    - Show Only the most important parts, and progressively enhance/decorate. ‣ Render Content above the fold ASAP; and then render below the fold. ..............................................................................................................
13. None

14. Real Perf. vs Perceived Perf. ‣ Progressively Show the Content.

    ‣ Flush Buffers Early <?php flush(); ?> ‣ Load the Static Assets while the backend generates response. ‣ Flush at Regular Intervals. ..............................................................................................................
15. None

16. Early Flush - PayPal Here

17. Async JS Loading + Polyfills .............................................................................................................. yepnope({ test : Modernizr.geolocation,

    yep : 'normal.js', nope : ['polyfill.js', 'wrapper.js'] });

18. yepnope([{ load: 'http:/­/ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/ jquery.min.js', complete: function () { if (!window.jQuery)

    { yepnope('local/jquery.min.js'); } } }, { load: 'jquery.plugin.js', complete: function () { jQuery(function () { jQuery('div').plugin(); }); } }]); Async JS Loading + Resource Fallbacks ..............................................................................................................

19. yepnope({ load: 'preload!jquery.1.5.0.js', callback: function (url, result, key) { window.jQuery;

    // undefined (but it's cached!); } }); Async JS Loading + Resource Preloading ..............................................................................................................

20. .............................................................................................................. Key Idea Download all Scripts in Parallel and Execute

    in Order.

22. GOOGLE SPDY! .............................................................................................................. ..............................................................................................................

23. Google SPDY vs Plain Ol’ HTTP ‣ Multiplexed Streams (Single

    TCP Connection) ‣ Request Prioritization ‣ Header Compression ‣ Server Push ..............................................................................................................

24. Google SPDY vs Plain Ol’ HTTP .............................................................................................................. 0 25 50

    75 100 Without SSL With SSL HTTP Google SPDY Normalized Data for Top 100 Sites

25. RUM (Real User Monitoring) .............................................................................................................. ..............................................................................................................

26. .............................................................................................................. Monitor in PRODUCTION ..............................................................................................................

27. The Real Story! ..............................................................................................................

28. Yahoo! Boomerang ‣ Doc Complete, Page Response, Page Processing, TTFB,

    DNS, Connect & more ‣ Cookie data (for parent domain) ‣ Location (geolookup on IP) ‣ Referrer ‣ User Agent ‣ Anything else you want to stuff into the beacon https://github.com/yahoo/boomerang ..............................................................................................................

29. Why RUM? .............................................................................................................. ‣ Get Real World Data. ‣ Monitor

    Perf. across Geographies, Browser Types. ‣ Roll out Optimizations and see how they perform with real data.

30. What to Capture? .............................................................................................................. ‣ Geo Split. ‣ 95 %ile,

    90 %ile, 75 %ile and 50 %ile Load times. ‣ Browser Data. ‣ Connect times in the Wild. Readymade solutions for RUM

31. Summary .............................................................................................................. Reduce HTTP Requests. Use a CDN for Static

    Assets. Lazy Loading FTW! Prevent Frontend SPOF. Early Flush / Chunked Responses. Async Script Loading. Google SPDY.
