7 principles of clean and optimized CSS code(smashingmagazine.com)

submitted by ourcurrentfuture(1225) 3 years, 9 months ago

With the popularity of CSS layouts and JavaScript-enriched web page experiences, it’s not uncommon, particularly for large sites, for the CSS files alone to grow in size, but there are some principles to consider during and after you write your CSS to help keep it tight and optimized. Optimization isn’t just minimizing file size — it’s also about being organized, clutter-free, and efficient. You’ll find that the more knowledge you have about optimal CSS practices, smaller file size will inevitably come as an direct result of their implementation. You may already be familiar with some of the principles mentioned in this article, but they are worth a review. Being familiar with this concepts will help you write optimized CSS code and make you a better all-around web designer. read more...

C#: Generate WebPage Thumbmail Screenshot Image(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 10 months ago

There are a few services out there that serve up screenshots of any webpage for you to display on your website. One popular one is Kwiboo; this is the one that DotNetKicks uses. For some time now I've wondered what the easiest way to do this in .NET was, and today I stumbled upon the undocumented WebBrowser.DrawToBitmap method that makes this extremely easy to do. read more...

Optimize WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd(blog.madskristensen.dk)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 10 months ago

Some weeks ago I wrote how to minify and compress the WebResource.axd handler. In the comments of that post someone asked how to do the same with ScriptResource.axd. I thought about it and realized it could be done much smarter.If you take a look at the HTML source at the CodePlex Issue Tracker page, you’ll see it references 13 WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd. That’s 13 different web requests on each page load. The ScriptResource.axd is using HTTP compression but WebResource.axd does not. None of them minifies the scripts.Therefore it would be cool to create a plug ‘n play HttpModule that combines all resource.axd scripts into one single web request and then minify and compress them. It would result in smaller HTML, fewer web requests and optimized JavaScript code. If you’re a YSlow nazi like me, this is a must-have. read more...

Turn Google App Engine into your own Personal Content Delivery Network(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorph(3319) 3 years, 11 months ago

As anybody who has run a growing website or blog knows, response time is going to get worse with the more users you have visiting your site. The users come from all angles, RSS feeds, homepage visits, search engine visits, people sealing your static files that you host, and pretty much anything else that can be served over HTTP. The solution to this problem is to off load your static content on to a Content Delivery Network or CDN. CDN providers cost a lot of money though, so it is nothing for us mere mortals with one server can afford. But thanks to Google anyone can now run their own CDN for free on Googles servers. Lucky for you and me Google has made the process really painless and you can even have the CDN under you own domain name. In my case static.coderjournal.com. read more...

Implementing Generic Caching(objectreference.net)

submitted by Vort3X(1335) 4 years ago

I develop for a large, high-availability website, with hundreds of thousands of daily users. As such, we need to cache a lot of data in our web-server memory (which is cheap) to save numerous hits to our main database cluster (which is very expensive). I would imagine the desire to improve performance by saving on database hits is common across many web applications – and caching frequently used data is often seen as one of the best ways to solve this problem. read more...
