• Mark Phillip: "200s, 304s, Expires Headers, HTTP Compression, and You"
  • If your logo hasn't changed in years, why are your visitors re-requesting it on every page? Paradoxically, the best way to increase visits to your site is to decrease the number of hits on your site. We'll learn about simple strategies that you can provide to your developers or implement yourself to make your site snappy and save you money.
