Description:

The world's best-performing and largest Web sites achieve blazing fast Web performance by using effective caching techniques at every performance-sapping juncture of content delivery. These sites use and optimize three levels of Web caching: browser, edge, and server. IT professionals who focus on just one or two but not all three of these caching levels are missing an opportunity for even faster performance.

Browser caching reduces page load times, mostly for repeat customers. Edge caching reduces network latency when sending content over large distances. Server caching overcomes bottlenecks in application design and intercommunications such as voluminous database queries and service-oriented architecture (SOA) traffic. Using caching in your customer Web site is not a substitute for good architecture and best practices; it is the best practice. Web caching will amplify strong Web page design, architecture scalability, quality code, and infrastructure deployment — the four major elements of blazing fast Web sites.

Agenda:

Faster Web site performance makes customers happy.
Understand the three layers of Web caching: browser, edge, and server.
Boost your Web performance by optimizing the three layers.
Create a blazing fast caching architecture.
