Another great presentation about web performance by Steve Souders at Widget Summit 2007.

First part is dedicated to general rules of web performance similar to his original High Performance Webpages presentation and in the second part he reviews performance characteristics of multiple widgets on the market and gives some advices.

Another interesting presentation about web performance from Yahoo!’s Exceptional Performance team, this time by Stoyan Stefanov, lead developer, YSlow.

20 more tips-n-tricks, a couple new tools and more interesting numbers. I wish there was a video with all minor details that slides don’t convey.

Very thorough overview of techniques to improve real and perceived performance of front-end heavy web applications by Julien Lecomte. Not only browser-server communication, but page rendering, JavaScript parsing, DOM manipulations, memory leaking and so on. He also mentions whole lot of tools for development and profiling.
