85% of mobile users expect sites to load at least as fast as using a desktop or laptop computer.

57% of online shoppers will wait three seconds or less before abandoning the site.

“Yahoo! reported that making pages just 400 milliseconds slower resulted in a traffic
drop of up to 9%.”

* Google, Amazon, and others have found similar results.

SEOGoogle takes performance into
account in search engine rankings.

We aren’t just competing over user time and attention with other websites. We’re also competing against native apps.

Part 1: Bandwidth

http://www.flickr.com/photos/eliu500/5332240987/
4G will solve our problems, right?
Wednesday, March 21, 12
According to ITU (UN agency for information and communications technology) in 2011 we only had 45% of 3g or better coverage worldwide.

“Research done at Google shows that an increase from 5Mbps to 10Mbps results in a disappointing 5% improvement in page load times. Or put slightly differently, a 10Mbps connection, on average uses only 16% of its capacity.”

http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2010/07/13/velocity-tcp-and-the-lower-bound-of-web-performance/
TCP connections aren’t great for small files (all your non-media assets are small
files). This is due to TCP slow start.

If you pay for bandwidth and you can use less bandwidth to send the same functionality you have a savings at the same usage level.

Minify Production JavaScript
• For example, minified drupal.js is 24% the size of the original.
• UglifyJS - a great minifierhttps://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS
• Speedy Module - minified core JShttp://drupal.org/project/speedy
• Advanced CSS/JS Aggregation (D 6.x)http://drupal.org/project/advagg
Wednesday, March 21, 12
Quick Note On Legal Issues
• JavaScript downloaded to the browser is a form of distribution.
• The source (non-minified) must be linked to or publicly available. This could be a link in a comment.
• Preserve copyright / attribution comments.
Note: I’m not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
Wednesday, March 21, 12
Contrib Challenge: If a project in contrib is using un-minified JavaScript for production file a bug. Remember, patches welcome.

Compression Tools
ImageOptim - for mac and what I usehttp://imageoptim.pornel.net/
SmushIt - a web service owned by Yahoo!http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/
RIOT - Recommended to me but never usedhttp://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/

Responsive Images
• Adaptive Imagehttp://drupal.org/project/adaptive_imageNote: Does not work with CDNs or reverse proxies.
• Responsive Imageshttp://drupal.org/project/responsive_imagesUses a special field formatter for images.
• Adaptive Image Styleshttp://drupal.org/project/aisRequires alterations to .htaccess and JS.

Remove Image Styles Metadata
ImageMagick advanced module has an option to strip out metadata.

Gzip Everything
When you send assets to the browser Gzip everything. Modern browsers (even IE 6)
support accepting Gzip compression.
• mod_deflate (for apache) • IIS (build in)• HttpGzipModule (nginx)

Round-trip Time (RTT)
“the length of time it takes for a signal to be sent plus the length of time it takes for an
acknowledgment of that signal to be received.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-trip_delay_timeWednesday, March 21, 12
http://www.slideshare.net/guest22d4179/latency-trumps-all
Mobile phone network latency is 2-10x that of wired
connections.

Enable CSS and JavaScriptAggregation
In an unscientific random poll of DrupalCon attenders websites these were not enabled half the time. Not the first conference I’ve observed this at.

“Adding an Expires header to your components with a date in the future makes them cacheable, reducing the load time of your pages. Certainly this should be done with images, but that's fairly typical. Go a step further and add it to scripts and stylesheets, too. This won't affect performance the first time users hit your page, but on subsequent page views it could reduce response times by 50% or more.”
http://stevesouders.com/hpws/rule-expires.phpWednesday, March 21, 12
What about caching and updating?
So, you’ve updated an image or a sprite and you want that to download but your
images are set to cache.
Solution: Use a custom name for each update. For example append a character you increment or a date. Or, use a query string.
This is what Google, Yahoo, and many others do.
Wednesday, March 21, 12
Warning: While desktop browsers generally have large caches, mobile browsers typically have a cache only several MB in size.

Part 3: Mobile Devices
Wednesday, March 21, 12
10xJavaScript on mobile devices (high end
ones) takes about 10x as long to execute on mobile devices compared to desktop
computers.
Wednesday, March 21, 12
512MBThe amount of RAM in the iPhone 4s and
iPad 2. Mobile devices typically have 1GB or less of RAM. This helps extend battery life.
Wednesday, March 21, 12
What Can We Do About It?
Nothing Fancy with JavaScriptJS has less performance and memory to work with.
Simpler DOMA complicated DOM (divitis) uses more system resources. A simpler DOM has less objects in memory.
Mobile Optimized ImagesThey use less resources to render, manipulate, and keep in memory.

Alternatives To Caching
Local StorageGoogle, Bing, and others put assets in local storage.
Manifest AppcacheDesigned for html5 apps these can tell a browser to store assets for long periods.
If there isn’t much space to cache where else can we stick assets?
Wednesday, March 21, 12
What Else Can We Compress?
HTMLCompressorhttp://code.google.com/p/htmlcompressor/Minify HTML. In Drupal see hook_page_delivery_callback_alter and drupal_deliver_html_page.
mod_pagespeedApache module that automatically optimizes web pages and resources on them.
JavaScript, CSS, and images aren’t the only things that can be compressed.
Wednesday, March 21, 12
Delayed JavaScript Evaluation
All JavaScript included in a page needs to parsed and evaluated before
it becomes available.
jQuery on iPhone 4 takes 320ms to parse and evaluate. Lazy Evaluation waits until JS is needed to evaluate it.

Update Your Linux Kernel
http://samsaffron.com/archive/2012/03/01/why-upgrading-your-linux-kernel-will-make-your-customers-much-happier
The Linux 3.3 kernel increases the TCP initial congestion window to 10. This can cut down the number of round trips to get data. Google and Microsoft already do this.
