Even more details about web application performance. Enjoyed the book. I haven't tried these experiments before and it was pretty astonishing when I found out that didn't know such details about css, http and browsers...

Tips aged poorly and were overly folksy (not a ton of great measurement or comparison of tradeoffs).

This book is aiming to more experienced QA engineers and web developer. I recommend reading it only after "High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers" of the same author.

A much more developer-oriented guide, this book has great new principles for improving performance.

This was a very good introductory book. I liked the amount of detail and code snippets that it provided, but it wasn't too technical for a beginning. The way it was written was easy to understand, and it provided a lot of helpful information. Great way to start learning about website hosting and the challenges that come with it.

This book is like a sequel to the High Performance Web Sites by the same author.

Although there are some concepts in this book that I would've probably never used, mostly because I never knew about them. That does not mean to say I'll use those concepts regularly now, but they are definitely a good thing to know.

My best take-away from this book are two chapter 7 - Writing efficient JS and chapter 14 - Simplifying CSS. These are probably the most crucial aspects to work on when you start doing slightly advanced performance analysis on your site.

After reading chapter 10 - Optimizing Images, I started saying 'Image size reduces by 30kb... sure I'll do it'. Before, I would've said '30kb.. never mind'.

The downside of this book is that it'll change your perspective about web development forever.

just finished this one... the early parts I've read before... some of the later parts have some interesting conclusions... but it starts out very solid with very clear descriptions of benefits of one particular development method (for js) over another... Learned a little bit from this book... The best thing about it was that it really made me remember all of the front-end optimizations that can be made to a site and showed me a few new ways to think about ptimizations...

Definitely for developers and performance geeks, this book is way beyond what I need to know at this time about improving site optimization from a mostly front-end perspective. I find Google's PageSpeed Insights much more helpful for my level. But if you're a developer and want to get into detailed statistics and math that shave off ms of load time, then this book, although slightly outdated now, should be useful.

In una parola: pignolo. All'inverosimile. L'ottimizzazione delle risorse in un sito web portata all'estremo. Dall'ordine di caricamento di javascript e css all'ottimizzazione delle regole nei css per accelerare il rendering. Probabilmente eccessivo per la maggior parte dei siti web, ma utilissimo per siti molto frequentati e molto dinamici.

Plenty of solid advice backed up by data and sample code. I picked up a few new optimizations to try and a couple to revisit from reading this book. Well recommended if you want to make a site faster.

This book just didn't age well. Not worth your time.

Good book, usefull as reference.
I already knew most of the stuff before I bought it, hence the low rating.

This is a good follow up to the previous book. There are some pretty interesting tidbits like the fact that CSS selectors are interpreted from right to left.

Much of the material in this book has become dated. A good read, but not as helpful as it once was.

There are good bunch of tricks for frontend developers, but now it's outdated. That would be nice to release a new edition based on final HTML5 specification.
