The Exceptional Performance team has identified a number of best practices for making web pages fast. The list includes 35 best practices divided into 7 categories.

01.Minimize HTTP Requests---减少http请求

1. simplify the page's design.
   2.Combined files
   3.Image maps
   4.CSS Sprites
   5.Inline images---are not yet supported across all major browsers.

   02.Use a Content Delivery Network---利用内容分发网络

   请记住，最终用户响应时间的80-90％用于下载页面中的所有组件：图像，样式表，脚本，Flash等。这是性能黄金规则。 而不是开始重新设计您的应用程序架构的艰巨任务，最好先分散您的静态内容。 这不仅实现了响应时间的更大减少，但是由于内容交付网络更容易。
