Description

Please RSVP [http://mobileportland.com/events/make-mobile-web-fast]

Making your website fast leads to happy users, reduced operating costs, and even improved search ranking. Speed is especially important on the mobile web, where users want information quickly and network connections can be frustratingly slow.

At the next Mobile Portland meeting Joshua Marantz, Matthew Steele, and Ilya Grigorik will show us:

the latest mobile web optimization techniques and best practices; how Google's PageSpeed Insights can help you identify performance problems; how the SPDY protocol and PageSpeed tools such as mod_pagespeed and ngx_pagespeed can be used to make things faster; Google's upcoming PageSpeed Service;

We hope to see you all Monday evening.
