[WSG] client side optimization...

2012-03-19 Thread Albert Listy
Hello all, I'm looking for best practices for client side optimization.

I know that's a little vague but I'm looking at a lot of things. Faster
load times, asynchronous cross talk, web 2.0 (whatever that is) and
Jquery/json/ajax tips.

Basically I might be hit with a lot of different tasks to make the pages
scream client side (no server hits if possible) so I'm thinking of
references, whether they are sites, books, etc.

Thanks,
Albert

I'm sure there are a great deal of items that I don't mention
1.  no inline styles or inline javascript.
2.  get rid of all white space, inline comments etc in mark up,  CSS, and js
   ( css can be reduced to one line for instance)
3. optimize all images and image sprites
4. also where possible use image sprites for background images instead
of individual files
5. reduce http requests to the browser
6. call all javascript/jquery from the end of the file not the beginning
7. use cache

http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html   may help.

I am also  taking an online course from the w3c in mobile development
and we did an entire section on client-side website optimization. I
learned about the following from the course.

I hope it helps,

Nancy

Nancy,

That is a great start! Thanks!

Has anyone worked with Sub domains for images or scripting? If so, what are
the pros and cons?
