Building a High Performance Website
22.05.12
Building a fast website is hard.
Leading an initiative to improve site performance is even harder.
With the numerous techniques that can be used to increase site speed, project managers are constantly struggling with both technical and project management questions. Do you focus on front end or back end optimization? What do you need to find out from your web development team before developing a strategy to improve website performance? Which optimizations should be done manually, and which should be done automatically through site performance services?
Having the best possible answers to these questions is absolutely crucial to the overall success of any initiative to improve website performance. Before choosing techniques that will increase site speed, project managers must first have a solid grasp of factors that affect website performance, and analyze how these factors are affecting the site in question. This, coupled with an understanding of available site optimization techniques, will help project managers make the most well informed site performance decisions.
