Optmizing mobile apps for better performance

Mobile

  1. Does anyone know of a good article on optimizing sites for mobile?

  2. More specifically, I’m having a problem with Expires, Cache-Control, ETags, etc. What to use, and then the best way to implement them. I’ve read through several articles, and I’m having problems putting expires headers on static assets.

  3. Is cache manifests standard for mobile web apps or does it really depend on what your building?

I also have the same doubts and searched in google for optimising website for mobile devices. I got many google results but I did not get good articles that explain step by step procedure. I am also interested to know much about it.

Just like optimizatin in computer. Though, there is still no perfect file up for mobile optimization. The process and methods in mobile optimization is still under experimentation.

A cache manifest lists the files you want the mobile device to cache when it’s offline. If you need that feature, then it’s mandatory.

For optimizing sites for mobile devices use a separate directory of your site for mobile devices.Once mobile device is used for visiting your site,redirect the user to that directory.Avoid flash and other rich media content in your mobile site to increase it’s performance.
