Hi, I examined the web site and have the following suggestions to reduce bandwidth consumption and offer a better user experience:
Please activate the gzipping compression on your web site. On your home page http://www.ulteo.com/home/en/home?autolang=en Currently the following files could be compressed: (19.1K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/en/home?autolang=en. (126.1K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_default-static/js/lib/prototype.js (5.7K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_default-static/js/lib/shortcut.js (5.8K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_default-static/js/class_utils.js (2.9K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_default-static/js/global.js (2.8K) http://www.ulteo.com/main/js/tooltips.js (11.5K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_default-static/css/styles.css (1.7K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_custom-static/css/menu.css (1.8K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_custom-static/css/global.css (3.8K) http://www.ulteo.com/home/_custom-static/css/content.css Your server is Apache/2.2.3 so see the following page for details how to configure it at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html This should reduce by about 70% your data transfers (in this particular case 181K becomes 55K). Move all your CSS stylesheets to the top of the HEAD element for all your web pages. This allows progressive page rendering, making something appear on the screen sooner. For more ideas and justifications see: http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html The extra CPU effort is more than compensated by the reduction in the amount of data being served (your mileage might vary).
