Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization


by Andrew B. King, Jakob Nielsen

Author Andrew B. King says:
      I wrote this book to help speed up the web. As a webmaster and teacher of webmasters at WebReference.com, I learned that site speed is critical to online success and happy users. Articles alone are not enough; this subject needs a book. I also wanted to give something back to the community that has nurtured my career for the last decade. This book is the result of years of collaboration and research. I'd like to thank everyone who selflessly shared their insights with me.

Andy has put together a book that is packed densely with information. If you have a web site, you'll find something helpful in this book. From the psychology of user satisfaction on the web; to CSS, JavaScript, HTML, and XHTML optimization tips; to graphics, audio, and video; and finally, search engine optimization and case studies of real web sites, you'll find information that will help you speed up your site. And a faster site equals happier users and longer visits to your site. We hope you'll find this book a key resource for optimizing your site.
