Minimizing load time for web pages
|
Conclusion and Outlook
This article discussed some of the tools available to help you optimize your web pages. It also provided information on how to use these tools to formally check the correctness of your web page content and optimize it for rendering. For further information on this topic, you can refer to a Firefox lecture given by Frank Richter at Chemnitzer Linux Day 2010 [35], which provides details about various extensions along with concrete examples. Additionally, the caching tutorial by Brian D. Davison [36] explains how to optimize the organization of data at the meta level.
