You can find a great list of front end rules here:

With respect to a CDN, I recently discovered an apache module from Voxel.

Looks to be an interesting module to assist with converting a site to use a CDN.

YSlow offers some great guidelines, but there’s a lot more advice Percona can offer on a per-application basis. I wouldn’t look at a low YSlow score and assume the site is poorly built e.g. most sites don’t require a CDN and shouldn’t turn ETags off.

Just a note to everyone who has commented so far: http://www.percona.com/services/front-end-performance-optimization.html has a link to a sample report.

So what do we do that you can’t get from yslow, and of course the excellent book by Steve Souders? (really, you SHOULD read it! http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596529309?tag=perinc-20)

Experience. Expertise. Depth.

If you have time and not money, sure, do it yourself. If you have money and not time, or if you just want to get more performance optimization than you think you’ll be able to get on your own, then it’s a great time to hire us!

And let me say again that Steve’s book is required reading.

What do you do in particular?
While YSlow (http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/) from Yahoo is a great tool, which marks almost all possible faults in frontend performance.

we serve alot of static content and try hard to be hi-tech on the frontend… we could really use a free review if you guys are willing to consider it!

Would love to get a report for http://www.backtype.com/ and will offer as much feedback as possible. It’s great that you’re adding this service to the arsenal.

Sounds interesting.

If you are looking for a site to test, wouldn’t mind seeing a report for http://www.geograph.org.uk – and could provide feedback in return. Probably ok publishing the report if you wanted too, the site software is open source anyway.
