Don’t make me wait! On the Web,
user patience is a time bomb. It starts ticking each time a visitor opens
one of your pages. You have only a few seconds to get compelling content
onto the screen. Fail, and you can kiss your customers and profits goodbye.
You can't count on fast connections
either. Most Internet users are still sucking content through a 56K straw.
You have to serve up greased lightning or they'll bail. The premier launch
of "Speed Up Your Site – Web Site Optimization" by Andy King, and the companion
web site at www.WebSiteOptimization.com
are about designing “speedy” web sites with techniques that...
• Cut file size and download times
in half
• Speed up site load time to satisfy
customers
• Engage users with fast response
times and flow stimulus
• Increase usability, boost profits,
and slash bandwidth costs
• Improve search engine rankings
The book’s companion web site at
WebSiteOptimization.com
offers the following:
The Bandwidth Report
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/bw/
A monthly survey of US connectivity
trends at home and work. Includes broadband trend prediction using data
from Nielsen//NetRatings.
The "Web Page Analyzer" Tool
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
This free online tool analyzes web
page size, composition, and download speed.
Real-World Examples And Tips
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/publications/
Articles that offer illustrations,
tips, and techniques that show you how to make your pages literally "pop"
onto the screen.
