RailsConf 2012 - Making the web faster, one Rails page at a time

Slides @ bit.ly/faster-rails

Google loves speed, and we want to make the entire web faster - yes, that includes your Rails app! We'll explore what we've learned from running our own services at scale, as well as cover the research, projects, and open sourced tools we've developed in the process.

We'll start at the top with website optimization best practices, take a look at what the browser and HTML5 can do for us, take a detour into the optimizations for the mobile web, and finally dive deep into the Chrome Developer Tools, PageSpeed, and others.
