Speed Optimization in 4 Minutes

Step 8 - Speed Maintenance

Great success!

Here's a recap of what we did:

  1. Image Optimization
  2. Network Optimization
  3. Javascript Optimization
  4. CSS Optimization
  5. Back-End Code Optimization
  6. Server Optimization
  7. Repeat-view Optimization

Now's your chance to try these optimizations on your site. However, keep in mind that these are best practices, and they won't always work for your situation. It's important to try, measure, and try again.

Lastly, once you've reached your peak it's easy to regress over time. Be sure to consider a speed monitoring tool that will regularly test your pages and let you know when metrics have changed. Even better would be to integrate it into your devops process so you're aware of any regressions asap.

Thanks for doing your part in making the web a faster, and better, place.
