not necessarily be better when it comes to performance. Servers and Internet
connections are getting more sophisticated, and as a result, we feel the need to
keep filling them. However, this isn’t the time to become lazy. This is the time to
utilize the amazing tools that are available for making websites faster, and to
learn how to improve user experience and satisfaction. This is a practical
collection of tutorials on back-end website performance for web developers. It’s
packed with useful, real world hints and tips that you can use on your sites today.
This book is for all back-end developers that want to build sites and apps that are
more performant. You’ll need to be familiar with server-side development in
order to follow the discussion.
