I’m sure that as a performance company you have a lot of interesting technologies and metrics that you use. Probably stuff like that are interesting for the community.

Could you please update 4 links on this post that are pointing to the old developer.yahoo.com/yslow, Yahoo! no longer maintains YSlow, the official URL is yslow.org.
Use the following snippet to find them document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="developer.yahoo.com/yslow"]')

Thanks,
@marcelduran

You are absolutely right that these rules have been around for a while and YSlow has a solid history. Quality work certainly stands the test of time.

This post was intended to bring attention to how much work we can do on the outer edges of our applications versus work done in the app and database layers. ~80% of response time is spent on this outer edge.

Also, a lot of newer developers haven’t seen the great work by Souders (and many others), so we wanted to highlight a tool that many of us take for granted.

I’d love to hear topics you’d like to see more of on our blog.

Thanks,
chris
