This is slightly OT and mainly aimed at web devs so bare with me. 


Best place to start for any website developer is to run Google PageSpeed analyzer on their site, it'll give you a list of optimizations you can do instantly on your site to greatly improve the user experience and reduce page load time. For those of you who use visual studio, seek out an extension called bundler, it'll minify and compress all your .js (jquery,jquery ui etc) and .css files into one tiny file, combine that with some nice headers specifying content expiry and your site will load like magic.

Fair enough - after such a comment I guess I have to walk the talk ;-)

I have actually been planing to do a little training course on the topic, but doing a blog post about it might be a good place to start.
Also a blog post might be used as training material later on so challenge accepted.

Time is always an issue, but let me see if I can get something out before this latency debate has ended.
For those who can't wait this Steve Souders talk is a very good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTHvs3V8DBA (ignore the crappy audio for the first 3min).

@ Michael Pedersen , I have a challenge for you... why not pen a short actionable guide for newbie developers on how to properly use HTTP headers?

Basically, what you have used and how it has worked for you.

Sometimes we developers don't know what we don't know.
