[quote author="mipa" date="1193299806"]I'd like to add a few resources I've found in the last few months related to front-end performance:

1. Steve Souders' site: http://stevesouders.com/examples/rules.php
2. Cal Henderson article about improving performance: http://www.thinkvitamin.com/features/web...cript-fast
3. The Yahoo Firebug plugin, YSlow: http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/
4. YUI Compressor (CSS and JS compressor [not obfuscator] written in Java): http://www.julienlecomte.net/yuicompressor/[/quote]

Thanks! Good read.
