Book Review: A Great Checklist For The Web Developer
Summary: 4 Stars
In High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers Steve Souders explains that at least 80 percent of the time it takes to display a web page happens after the HTML document has been downloaded, and describes the importance of the techniques in this book.
The book is a quick read containing some good hints and tips. Many are fairly easily investigated and implemented in most companies.
Seemingly out of place, however, is Rule 2: Use a Content Delivery Network. While it's certainly a good way to improve performance, it's not something every company can afford.
Overall, an interesting book.
