A YSlow feature that is new (at least to me) is its JavaScript tab. It's not related to performance exactly, but it will run your JS through jslint, minify, beautify it (if it's in a gnarly style). Great stuff.
- wycats 17y agoTotally the tip of the iceberg. I plan to post some more of the built-in Rails support for other YSlow recommendations in the coming weeks.
- mncaudill 17y agoThe big point of emphasis for me from your post was that, usually, the front-end is the performance sink. A lot of web developers don't seem to get that, and will spend their time optimizing PHP loops (assuming they are not hitting the disk in the middle of that loop...). I always tell my developers: 1) Measure, measure, measure. 2) Then, apply Amdahl's Law.
