Optimizing Page Load Times

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

John Callender writes, "Google engineer Aaron Hopkins has written an interesting analysis of optimizing page load time. Hopkins simulated connections to a web page consisting of many small objects (HTML file, images, external javascript and CSS files, etc.), and looked at how things like browser settings and request size affect perceived performance. Among his findings: For web pages consisting of many small objects, performance often bottlenecks on upload speed, rather than download speed. Also, by spreading static content across four different hostnames, site operators can achieve dramatic improvements in perceived performance."

    We don't really need to make 'web browsing' faster than it already is. Studies like this are just a mockery of human patience. I understand the need for speed when I'm downloading pirated videos or 'cracked' software, but I do not understand spending resrouces trying to make web pages load even faster. I do have that much patience. If this goes on any further, I can imagine a future where people would be working hard to get pages directly to there brain so they dont even have to spend time 'looking' at it.
