Performance Optimization for Mobile
Jason Grigsby and John Keith come to WebVisions with a hands-on workshop on “Performance Optimization for Web and Mobile” where they’ll walk through the steps to optimize a site, demonstrate techniques with a real use case and provide attendees with the tools needed to optimize their site. Whether building traditional web sites, AJAX applications or cutting edge mobile web tools, speed is paramount:
- Speed = Perception — Both of a site and the organization behind it.
- Speed = Money — Every 100ms costs Amazon 1% of sales.
- Speed = Mobile — Connection speeds and latency make mobile much slower.
- Speed = Environment — Data centers are huge power consumers. Reducing the load on servers is the right thing to do and one way to contribute to a greener earth.
Despite these benefits, most web developers are unaware of the simple techniques that can make web pages load and execute faster.
This workshop is for web and mobile web front-end designers and developers. For most web pages, 80% of download time happens after the html is delivered to the browser. The biggest gains come from optimizing html, css and javascript.
