I'm sure there are a great deal of items that I don't mention 1. no inline styles or inline javascript. 2. get rid of all white space, inline comments etc in mark up, CSS, and js ( css can be reduced to one line for instance) 3. optimize all images and image sprites 4. also where possible use image sprites for background images instead of individual files 5. reduce http requests to the browser 6. call all javascript/jquery from the end of the file not the beginning 7. use cache
http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html may help. I am also taking an online course from the w3c in mobile development and we did an entire section on client-side website optimization. I learned about the following from the course. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/ redbot.org I hope it helps, Nancy On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 10:37 AM, Albert Listy <albertli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, I'm looking for best practices for client side optimization. > > I know that's a little vague but I'm looking at a lot of things.
