Web Site Optimization - General
Web Site Optimization
Section 2: Image Optimization, Optimize Graphics - Tutorials, Resources, Tools, Books
Want to make your images load faster? Need to speed up your page load times, streamline and optimize your photographs, Web graphics, and images?
Many of us already consider optimizing images for Web use by reducing the file sizes as much as possible without noticeable visual degradation. Another aspect of optimizing images is their actual use, such as combining several icons into one image and using CSS for presentation or using one background image for several purposes, also using CSS positioning. Below are tutorials on various approaches to optimizing Web site images and their use, including tutorials specifically for optimizing images in Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, and compressing and optimizing Adobe Flash files.
Within the Graphics Optimization, Optimize Images section below, you'll find helpful resources to articles, tutorials, and tools to show you how to optimize your images to reduce their file sizes without degrading how they appear on your Web sites, along with smart ways to combine images using CSS (CSS image sprites), and compressing and optimizing multimedia files.Your pages can load faster, you'll save bandwidth, reduce file sizes, reduce server space, and much more by optimizing your Web site's performance.
Web Site Optimizing in General

[Article/tutorial dated 11/2004, by Trenton Moss, for WebCredible.] - Web Site Optimization: 13 Simple Steps
4-part series that covers: basic optimization rules, optimizing assets (images, scripts, and styles), optimizations specific to scripts, optimizations specific to styles. From their description: “This tutorial takes a practical, example-based approach to implementing those rules. It's targeted towards web developers with a small budget, who are most likely using shared hosting, and working under the various restrictions that come with such a setup. Shared hosts make it harder to play with Apache configuration — sometimes it's even impossible — so we'll take a look at what you can do, given certain common restrictions, and assuming your host runs PHP and Apache.” [Article/tutorial dated 10/24/2007, by Stoyan Stefanov, for SitePoint.com.]

Compress your CSS with GZIP and remove extraneous whitespace dynamically - carriage returns, extra spaces, extra lines, and comments. In addition to automatically compressing your CSS files, now you can work in your CSS file formatted as you wish and let the server dynamically remove the excess to load much faster for your visitors.

He describes two different approaches to accomplishing this. “CSS files for larger sites can become pretty large themselves. Gzipping or compressing these files has shown to provide a reduction in the neighborhood of 70-80% of the original file size, a fairly significant 'weight loss'.” Editor note: this is the same author as the above 'PHP Manual Comments...' - this tutorial explains all the details and provides links to further resources, too.

Commenter via php.net provides PHP function script to remove extraneous white space and carriage returns from CSS. Works beautifully. Editor note: I've implemented this script for websitetips.com and tweaked it a bit specifically for this site's CSS. Really helps. This allows the best of both worlds, too - you can leave your carriage returns and extra spaces to work on your CSS file, and the server will automatically remove them server-side to help save bandwidth and speed up the load time.

General Server-side Optimization Tutorials
- Tuning LAMP systems, Part 2: Optimizing Apache and PHP
First, the tutorial covers tuning Apache: Configuring the MPM (Multi-Processing Modules); Using options and overrides efficiently; Persistent connections; Compression. Then the tutorial covers tuning PHP: Opcode caching with Zend opcode and eAccelerator; php.ini configuration (“Four important settings control how much system resources PHP can consume...”). The article summary: “This article focused on tuning the Web server, both Apache and PHP. With Apache, the general idea is to eliminate extra checks the Web server must do, such as processing the .htaccess file. You must also tune the Multi-Processing Module you're using to balance the system resources used with the availability of idle workers for incoming requests. The best thing you can do for PHP is to install an opcode cache. Keeping your eye on a few resource settings also ensures that scripts don't hog resources and make the system slow for everyone else.” [Article/tutorial dated 04/30/2007, by Sean A.

Recommended Books on Web Site Optimization
- High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers By Steve Souders. Published by O'Reilly Media, Inc. (September 11, 2007). From the book's description:
Want your web site to display more quickly? This book presents 14 specific rules that will cut 25% to 50% off response time when users request a page. Author Steve Souders, in his job as Chief Performance Yahoo!, collected these best practices while optimizing some of the most-visited pages on the Web. Even sites that had already been highly optimized, such as Yahoo! Search and the Yahoo! Front Page, were able to benefit from these surprisingly simple performance guidelines. The rules in High Performance Web Sites explain how you can optimize the performance of the Ajax, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, and images that you've already built into your site — adjustments that are critical for any rich web application. Other sources of information pay a lot of attention to tuning web servers, databases, and hardware, but the bulk of display time is taken up on the browser side and by the communication between server and browser. High Performance Web Sites covers every aspect of that process.
Each performance rule is supported by specific examples, and code snippets are available on the book's companion web site.

- Website Optimization: Speed, Search Engine & Conversion Rate Secrets By Andrew B. King. Published by O'Reilly (July 8, 2008). Andy King's book is an absolute must have book for anyone creating or maintaining Web sites. He provides valuable information, examples, and great insight on how to optimize Web sites - for speed, search engine visibility, improved conversion rates, helpful metrics and tools, and more. Even if you think you've done a lot of optimizing already, you'll always find more possibilities within Andy's fantastic book. Highly recommended. From the author:
Author's site: WebsiteOptimization.com.This new book, Website Optimization: Speed, Search Engine & Conversion Rate Secrets, offers a comprehensive set of techniques with which to improve your site's performance: boosting search engine visibility for more traffic, increasing conversion rates to maximize leads and profits, revving up site speed to retain users, and measuring your site's effectiveness (before and after these changes) with best-practice metrics and tools.
Tips to optimize Web Pages
 | First, the most important rule: web pages that have good content for your visitors will likely have high rankings from the search engines. This is critical for good rankings (and to good page design).
|
| Divide your site into categories that are natural and appropriate for the theme of your site. This will help both your visitors and the search engines find the information they are seeking.
|
| Have each web page contain unique information. That is, each page makes its own contribution to the site.
|
| Choose a navigation scheme that is logical and natural, one that your visitors and the search engines can easily follow.
|
| Choose 3 or 4 keywords or phrases that are appropriate for each web page. Because each page is unique, these keywords will be unique with their pages. Write text or copy for each page that gives important, significant, and useful information about the topic (don't just write fluff that doesn't say much). Place your keywords and phrases in a few appropriate places in the text such that the keywords contribute to the value of the text (don't over do this; putting your keywords in too many places may get you penalized by the search engines). Use variations of the keywords and phrases in a way that is natural for the topic and that contributes to the content of the page. This is important because most search engines extract keywords from the page text for indexing. Put the keywords in the XHTML |
