Speaker: Bob Buffone - An expert's guide to making a website slow! Anti-paterns

Architecture. Design. Development. Deployment. From conception to production, there are some key points where decisions and paths conspire to produce a slow website. This presentation will highlight many of the common slow website inducing decisions that are part of most new development or update of websites. During the presentation we will cover many websites that make big mistakes (it is pretty funny) and look at lots of data to figure out the correlation between different monitoring statistics (JavaScript files, page size, asset count) and slow websites.

Bob Buffone is the CTO and Co-founder of Yottaa.com. At a very early age he learned the meaning of "keep it simple, stupid" and how good debugging skills will get you farther faster. Given a broken snowmobile by his uncle, he set out on a mission to get it running. After spending countless hours rebuilding the engine, making endless trips to the parts store and wasting a bunch of money to get the snowmobile running, he discovered that the problem all along was simply a hole in the gas tank, and that a $2 tube of epoxy would have fixed the problem in less than an hour. See how that lesson has guided his career to Yottaa.
