From the Publisher:As long as the Web has existed, people have been trying to make it faster. The maturation of the Web has meant more users, more data, and more features -- and consequently, longer waits. Improved performance has become a critical factor in determining the usability of the Web in general, and of individual sites in particular. Web Performance Tuning is about getting the best possible performance from the Web. This book isn't just about tuning web server software; it's also about streamlining web content, getting optimal performance from a browser, tuning both client and server hardware, and maximizing the capacity of the network itself. Web Performance Tuning hits the ground running, providing concrete advice for quick results: the "blunt instruments" for improving crippled performance right away. The book then shifts gears to provide a conceptual background of the principles of computing performance. The latter half of the book examines each element of a web transaction -- from client to network to server -- to find the weak links in the chain and show how to strengthen them. In addition, the book includes many more examples and graphs of real-world performance problems and their solutions, and has been updated for Java 2. Web Performance Tuning is for anyone who has waited too long for a web page to display, or watched the servers they manage slow to a crawl. It's about making the Web more usable for everyone.
