Some following tips are derived from the book High Performance Web Sites (O’Reilly) by Steve Souders:
- Make fewer HTTP requests to reduce object overhead.
- Use a content delivery network.
- Add an Expires header.
- Gzip/compress text components.
- Put stylesheets at the top in the head.
- Put scripts at the bottom of the body.
- Avoid CSS expressions which are CPU-intensive and can be evaluated frequently.
- Make JavaScript and CSS files external.
- Reduce Domain Name System (DNS) lookups to reduce the overhead of DNS delay by splitting lookups between two to four unique hostnames.
- Minify JavaScript.
- Avoid redirects which slow performance. It’s better to CNAME or alias.
- Remove duplicate scripts to eliminate extra HTTP requests in Internet Explorer.
- Configure ETags for sites hosted on multiple servers. FileETag none in Apache removes Etags to avoid improper cache validation.
- Make Ajax cacheable and small to avoid unnecessary HTTP requests.

What's the best way for your small or midsize comapny to spend its marketing dollars: advertising or building out your company Web site? According to a new report, SMBs are voting with their balance sheets, as "non-advertising" efforts by SMBs is expected to triple in the next few years, while remaining a fraction of overall ad spending.
The report from Borrell Associates, called Main Street Goes Interactive: How small businesses are spending their online dollars, says SMBs spent a total of $6.8 billion online marketintg last year, and that figure is expected to grow to $7.4 billion by 2013.
The makeup of that spend is changing, however. Display ads on the Web now account for 54% of SMB online budgets, but the percentage of online marketing spend that goes to display ads is expected to fall significantly as companies triple their "non-advertising" Web investments to $1.63 billion by 2013.
