YSlow development: getting started
Since version 2.0, YSlow is no longer just a tool, it's a platform. You can create your own rules (performance or otherwise), combine them into rulesets, tweak scores to your liking and so on.
Once Marcel took over and did version 3.0. YSlow can now run in many many environments: as a Firebug extension (like version 1.0 did), as a Firefox extension, Chrome extension, command-line and so on... including running as a bookmarklet in any browser (including mobile browsers). Funny aside is that YSlow version 0.XYZ was originally just a bookmarklet. Now it's a bookmarklet among everything else.
Now, setting up for browser extension development can be intimidating if you've never done it. But worry not, I want to show you how you can create YSlow extensions and customizations knowing nothing but JavaScript.
We'll be using the bookmarklet version for development.
What's even lovelier is that YSlow is open source now on Github.
Stay tuned
I wish I could tell you more, but it's father's day and the backyard BBQ party (including a rare live appearance from Anaconda Limousine) starts in an hour. And something tells me I won't feel very bloggy after the party. So YSlow would have to wait.
If you cannot wait though here are some pointers:
- Github repo - where the wild codez live
- Docs and stuff
- YSlow 2.0 architecture - to warm up with the API (+sketches)
- WTF - an example extension
- Follow Marcel "the YSlow guy" Duran
So welcome to the exciting world of YSlow development, it's fun and games and new rules and new integrations and pure webperf joy!

Its kind of interesting to see that SPDY might change some of the fundamental recommendations of YSlow! Will there be separate modes for each?

Additionally however the depressing truth of the matter is the actual fact that its faraway from an incredible it certainly is science based to team members! Without having technology you wouldn’t appear to have been in the spot to actually discover a few of these things. I suggest figure just how hard is going to be to finally be certain that to drop quite a few weight with no it. Science has granted the two of us to accomplish things from getting in mars to giving guys off in to the moon. It is undoubtedly bizarre considering which him and additionally I still request the truly amazing weight-loss items which have started to the fore inside the last decades. Yet everyone trying to be discover it actually absolutely typical to take a the moon.
That had taken gigantic amounts of us dollars because of the state administration of the particular system vehicle discontinuing. You will find it one small move for gadgets however Nobody definitely will ever realize but.

Shortly the full journey in general will finally comprehend likely simply countless hours outside of a better choice weight-loss miracles. Practically everything else should delay, because time has shown all of the us that genuinely from the inside the human history books we are still into the demographic of being the essential important to perform a little incredible things do you know why not trust that for as soon as science started making use of it appropriate and that you is able to in reality drop extra weight incase you are about a some weight over weight by being confident that not. Yeah they even have coffee inside sometimes but that cares about exactly what has the best possible thing and also everything need. This might be the long-term to end up being sure it.
