Je reçois Jean-Pierre Vincent, expert technique Web indépendant. Dans cet épisode, il parle d'éco-conception et de performance web (sites et applicatifs). Il évoque les notions de Front, de JavaScript, d'outils marketing, de CSS mais aussi d'indicateurs et d'obsolescence de nos Devices. Il répond aux questions comme : - Pourquoi la performance est-elle encore un sujet en 2023 ? - Pourquoi les outils de tracking, ou l'excès de javascript impactent la performance ? - Pourquoi le choix des polices est aussi discuté ? - Ou encore comment Google a permis de valoriser l'enjeu de la performance des sites via le SEO ? Il nous parle aussi du coût écologique de l'IT, il milite pour du matériel plus durable et contre l'obsolescence programmée que l'on constate. On parle aussi de l'accès au web pour des gens qui n'ont pas un bon matériel et qui sont, de facto, exclus. Convaincus ? Allez écouter cet épisode. 100% valeur.

Varya talks about how a component library turns into a design system and shares some of her experience. She talks about how the concepts in a design system are influenced and created by the existing interface. The panel discusses the importance of design system ownership.

Page speed is a big deal. Every second of load time is an excruciating eternity of pain for your site's visitors which slowly bleeds revenue out of your funnel and away from your bottom line. In one study from 2016 Google reported that the average U.S. retail mobile site loaded in 6.9 seconds, but, according to their then most recent data, 40% of consumers will leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. Ouch!Site owners are painfully aware that slow load times cause high bounce rates and thus creating site visitors who aren't buying, aren't clicking on ads, and aren't becoming advocates for your brand or the brands you serve as an agency or freelancer. Page speed has a direct impact to your ability to grow!In this episode of PressThis, we interview the world-renowned Patrick Meenan of Cloudflare and founder of the uber-popular WebPageTest.org about what you can do to help make your WordPress sites faster and more profitable.

Page speed is a big deal. Every second of load time is an excruciating eternity of pain for your site's visitors which slowly bleeds revenue out of your funnel and away from your bottom line. In one study from 2016 Google reported that the average U.S. retail mobile site loaded in 6.9 seconds, but, according to their then most recent data, 40% of consumers will leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. Ouch!Site owners are painfully aware that slow load times cause high bounce rates and thus creating site visitors who aren't buying, aren't clicking on ads, and aren't becoming advocates for your brand or the brands you serve as an agency or freelancer. Page speed has a direct impact to your ability to grow!In this episode of PressThis, we interview the world-renowned Patrick Meenan of Cloudflare and founder of the uber-popular WebPageTest.org about what you can do to help make your WordPress sites faster and more profitable.

Because of My Podcast I Got Media Passes - Cheri Field Cheri Fields has at least 7 children, and produces the Creation Science for Kids Podcast http://creationscience4kids.com/ What Podcaster's Can Learn From Amazon.com Amazon is an amazing company. Recently I purchased an Amazon Echo, and Later and Amazon Dot. These devices allow me to do things through voice activation system known as Alexa. You can control Alexa with an Amazon Echo, an Amazon Dot, and Amazon Tap, and now you can control your Amazon Fire TV.  If you're interested, check out my Buyer's Guide. The item that made me purchase the Echo? The ability to say “Alexa, add eggs to the grocery list.” The more I examine the Amazon company, the more I believe there are tips we podcasters can learn from them. Amazon Makes It Easy To Find Stuff Their search is at the top of their page. You don’t have to search for the search. Amazon understands their customer may want a number of things, so they make it easy to find. Podcasters you need a search button that is easy to find, if you provide topics that are more of a reference. Podcasters you could use categories to create filter to only show those episodes that are categorized a certain way. Customer First Mentality Any research into amazon and you will read how they make all decisions based on serving the customer. They are spending money on items that will better serve the customer. So when you are thinking about purchasing some equipment for your podcast you need to ask yourself who the purchase is serving, you or your audience? Amazon project lead Ian McAllister has described a sort of reverse engineering that happens frequently at company HQ. “We try to work backwards from the customer, rather than starting with an idea for a product and trying to bolt customers onto it,” he wrote on Quora.com. When someone approaches you to to be a guest on your show, you need think, “Will my audience want to hear this content?” Personalized Recommendations There are plugins that can add related links to other episodes on your site. So when someone listens to an episode about Topic A there could be links to more Topic A shows at the bottom of the post. There are plugins such as Yet Another Related Wordpress Post Plugin (which has lots of features, but can be a bit of a resource hog), and Related Wordpress Posts is a lighter weight plugin with an easy setup. If you’re using Appendipity themes, this is a built in feature They Don’t Always Win, but They Try I completely forgot that Amazon launched a “Fire Phone.” That tells you how much of an impact it had on the phone space. They’ve done quite a few things that didn’t land well. It wants to infiltrate people’s lives to such an extent that they can’t imagine living without it — that they don’t even try to imagine living without it. We always joke that "No one will punch you in the face," here at the School of Podcasting. Your podcast is a recipe, not a statue. One of the cool things about being cloud based, is they are constantly adding new features to the Alexa system Keep Your Pages Loading Fast After analyzing the ratio of sales to website performance, Amazon discovered that for every 100ms of page load time there was a 1% decrease in sales. So how fast does your website need to be? Many usability experts propose that the ideal page load time is 2 seconds or less. You can easily test the page load time of your own website by using free tools such as WebPageTest.org So podcasters be careful loading tons of plugins if you're using WordPress. Some of those may slow down your site. Make it Fun Google the phrase "Alexa Easter Eggs" and you will find a giant list of goof things you can get Alexa to say. There are Make it Easy The one thing the Amazon Echo and Dot do is they make it super easy to ORDER STUFF. With a few phrases, "Alexa order Angel Soft Toilet paper" it is pretty much on the way. She will state what size the package is and the price and ask me if I want to order it. There are safeguard can put in so your kids do order every thing under the sun. Podcasters who are saying thins like, "Find me in iTunes" are missing a golden opportunity to lead their customers by the hand and show them exactly how to subscribe to their show. One of the things I did as a young grocery clerk was if someone asked where something was, I would take them to it, and make sure they could reach it. I wanted to see that product go into their cart. I would also ask if there was anything else they were looking for before I returned to whatever I was doing before. Make it easy. You can do this by finding your show in iTunes, and right clicking on your art work and copying the link then add a button to your site and attach that link to the button (there is a tutorial for this at the School of Podcasting Amazon's Ultimate Goal - Routine Amazon wants to be your right arm. They want to be integrated into your life. When I recently traveled without my Amazon Dot, it was weird not to wake up, check my to do list, get the weather, and hear my custom news. If you can podcast on a regular schedule, you become part of your audience's routine. Podcast Glossary "K" I couldn't think of any "I's, or J's" so we are moving o the the K's. kbps - This is stands for kilo bits per second. This is a measurement that you use when you are exporting your files. Typical settings are 128 kbps - Stereo (if your primarily music) 96 kbps - mono (for those doing speech, and want a slightly better sound than 64 ) 64 - kbps mono (same as 128 stereo, but mono) When exporting you do not want to use VBR (variable bit rate) as you mp3 file may not play on all players.

Besides being the creator of WebPageTest.org he has also done a lot of work recently on the Google Chrome team to make the browser better and faster.During his recent Velocity presentation on “Using Machine Learning to determine drivers for bounce and conversion” he presented some very controversial findings about what really impacts end user happiness. That it was not rendering time but rather DOM Load Time that correlates with conversion and bounce rates. In this session we dig a bit deeper into which metrics you can capture from your website and presented them to your business side as an argument for investing in faster websites.

How do you make a mobile web site go fast? The same way you make any web site go fast! Carl and Richard talk to Chris Love about his strategies for making fast web pages. The conversation starts out discussing how mobile apps are even more performance sensitive than regular web pages, because mobile devices typically have less bandwidth and more limited processing power for rendering. Chris points to one of his favorite tools - WebPageTest, as a great starting point for knowing where to look for performance gains on web pages.

On this weeks episode we will be discussing ways to speed up your WordPress website.  This includes plugins that speed it up, explain caching and CDNs, and talk hosting providers that help.Caching – A way of taking the content and storing it into something more static to that gets pushed out to the internet.CDN – Content Delivery Network, the way you distribute all of the content be it Java, CSS or images out to a 3rd party that has fast servers.What are possible causes for a site running slow?* It’s possible that the issue is with your code and no matter where your site is hosted it will be slow.* Themes can also be an issue.* Often problems happen on the front end with a lot of or inefficient JavaScript, large image sizes. Image optimization is key.* Media in general takes up a lot of bandwidth.What are some possible solutions to slow running sites?* Hosting with a company that provides SSD (solid state drive) technology. SSD currently serves data at the fastest speed available. Compare hosts and find one that uses SSD rather than spindle based drives.* Use P3 Profiler (Plugin Performance Profiler) Use P3 to see which plugins are slowing your sites down.
