What I really would like to see is an independent third-party which cares nothing about data mining (maybe the w3c) host commonly used scripts (e.g. jquery) on Akamai and minified/compressed; all the parameters to their optimum instead of the myriad of options people use. They'd be so many browser cache hits.
Can someone post performance tips for Python? Either links or just suggestions. I've been coding in Python for a couple weeks and I'm not sure about what tools I have at my disposal for identifying bottlenecks and subsequently how to address those bottlenecks.
I would expect something a lot more from google. All these ideas are way too elementary and some are just misguided.
Advice like "crop your image"...come on.
The misguided ones are things like "use single quotes instead of double quotes when printing in php since one does not look for variables in the string text". The is just misguided and is probably the last thing your should worry about. This is orders of magnitude from any useful optimization that is actually impacting your site performance.
Good stuff, this must be a relatively new section.<p>I've also found Yahoo UI and performance section a great resource too.
