The subject of Web resource caching is as old as the World Wide Web itself. However, I’d like to offer an as-exhaustive-as-possible catalog of how one can improve performance by caching. Web resource caching can happen in two different places: client-side - on the browser and server-side. This post is dedicated to the former; the next post will focus on the latter. Caching 101 The idea behind caching is simple: if a resource is a time- or resource-consuming to compute, do it once and st

Assuming my guess is right, in the last two decades the per

Fast page loading is so last year… you should be thinking about instant page loads! To give an experience where the load is not just “acceptable”, but completely unnoticeable, we need to look beyond just optimising our loading speeds and think about how we can completely hide that load delay from th

The rise of the energy impact of software systems requires the need to optimize and reduce their energy consumption. One area often neglected is the important role played by users to drive energy reductions. In this paper, we aim to reduce the energy impact of software by pushing end users to change their software usage behavior, through raising awareness and providing software green feedback. We present a comprehensive and detailed field study of the impact of green feedback on software usage by end users, and the efficiency of green feedback on software behavioral change, using a distributed architecture aimed at providing accurate green feedback in real time. We find that green feedback helps in raising awareness about software energy, and on the willingness of users to apply energy-efficient changes. However, we also find that users lack the knowledge and tools to properly adopt lasting and energy-effective behavioral changes.

Companies are racing to cool down their servers as energy prices and temperatures soar. And the worst is yet to come.
