“Optimising your front end performance” was a very mixed talk. There were some generalisations that were seriously poor such as “80% of access to sites by end users is spent on the front end” – both vague and unfounded.

It’s something I’m rather passionate about and have wrote scripts to deal with this type of stuff that have worked extremely well.<\/p>\n
