Web site performance - what is it about? Readability and ignorance Vs. Performance

Let me cut to the chase... On one hand, many of the programming advices given (here and on other places) emphasize the notion that code should always be as readable and as clear as possible, at (almost?!) any pefromance cost. On the other hand there are SO many slow web sites (at least one of whom, I know from personal experience). Obvio...

Alternative Representation of a Website Drop-Down Navigation

I'm being brought in to re-design a website that currently has five or six hover-drop-down-style-list-menus.

I'm building a web site which includes a control that will use a LOT of data. So I thought of doing that through web-service, in order to improve scalabality- that way I'll be able to use a different server for this purpose. Is this a good idea? If so, where does it stops? Why not have web-services all around, and a very "thin" web site?...

Why not use HTML tags in websites' text editors?

Hi all, I may need to implement this sometime in the future, but I think the trigger for the question now is mainly curiosity. I thought of how to write a text editor to a web site I'll build soon, and saw this site's (and other's) way, so I thought - isn't it a bit too complicated? If tags should be used from the first place, why not le...
