*HTML/CSS Running your web applications offline with HTML5 AppCache
Submitted by matt 40 days ago (more from dev.opera.com)With the introduction of the W3C HTML5 application cache feature, it is possible to make your web applications run offline as well as online. This is where HTML5's new offline storage comes in. It defines a way to store files in a cache, so that when the user is offline, the browser still has access to the necessary files. These can be HTML, CSS or JavaScript files, or any other assets.
*Miscellaneous diffable
Submitted by matt 59 days ago (more from code.google.com)A method for reducing page load latency by transmitting differential encodings of static files. It works by sending deltas between versions of files that reside in a browser's cache. Files such as Javascript, HTML, and CSS are often updated every week or more, but change very little between versions. This method significantly reduces the bandwidth and transmission time for these files.
*HTML/CSS How HTML 5 link prefetching can make your site load faster with one line of code
Submitted by matt 96 days ago (more from keyboardy.com)One of the lesser-known jewels of HTML 5 is link prefetching. The idea is to extend the time-honored concept of image preloading to HTML content. The browser automatically downloads the page you specify in a background process as soon as the user’s computer is idle. When the user finally clicks a link to that page the browser serves it from the cache. Only supported by Firefox at this time.
*Miscellaneous How to analyze and speed up content rich web sites in minutes
Submitted by matt 175 days ago (more from blog.dynatrace.com)The FREE dynaTrace AJAX Edition offers an easy way to identify how many objects you have on your individual pages – whether these images are cached locally or have to be retrieved for every page request and how much time the browser actually has to wait for requesting individual images. There are other tools out there but you miss all the cool stuff like JavaScript/AJAX/DOM/XHR tracing.
*Programming minify - Combines, minifies, and caches JavaScript and CSS files on demand
Submitted by matt 214 days ago (more from code.google.com)Minify is a PHP5 app that helps you follow several of Yahoo!'s Rules for High Performance Web Sites. It combines multiple CSS or Javascript files, removes unnecessary whitespace and comments, and serves them with gzip encoding and optimal client-side cache headers.
*Miscellaneous Online JavaScript and CSS Compression Using YUI Compressor
Submitted by matt 274 days ago (more from refresh-sf.com)The YUI Compressor is JavaScript minifier designed to be 100% safe and yield a higher compression ratio than most other tools. According to Yahoo!'s Exceptional Performance Team, 40% to 60% of Yahoo!'s users have an empty cache experience and about 20% of all page views are done with an empty cache. This fact outlines the importance of keeping web pages as lightweight as possible.
*Programming HTTP Caching
Submitted by matt 287 days ago (more from peej.co.uk)HTTP has a very thorough and well supported caching mechanism, but in this age of the dynamic Web page, it often goes unused when it is needed the most. So what do we, as Web programmers, need to do to make sure our pages are cached correctly? Let's have a look.
*HTML/CSS 5 Amazing HTML5 Features to Look Forward to
Submitted by matt 1 year and 80 days ago (more from geektechnica.com)HTML 5 will be a major improvement over previous markup. Since the release of the first draft in 2008, most major browsers (yes including IE8) implemented some of the features proposed in this draft and it is already generating a lot of interest from developers. Features: Web workers, canvas, application caches and geolocation.
*Programming A Better Javascript Memoizer
Submitted by matt 1 year and 125 days ago (more from unscriptable.com)In computing, memoization is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by having function calls avoid repeating the calculation of results for previously-processed inputs. In other words, it’s a way to cache the results of function calls so that repeated expensive computations or lengthy lookups can be avoided.
*Programming JavaScript makes relative times compatible with caching
Submitted by matt 1 year and 187 days ago (more from 37signals.com)It’s easy to think that the relative-time style of “this comment was written 15 minutes ago” is incompatible with caching. How are you supposed to cache something if the text changes every minute? Static pages with JavaScripts, that’s how! To make this trick work, I embed the time stamp for a given entry in the DOM as a custom attribute that I can query for conversion
