Aaron Hopkins, a software engineer for Google has a kick ass article on Optimizing Page Load Time. His techniques are really dead simple and can dramatically make your web applications load quickly. Most of his solutions are about examining the way that HTTP client implementation of most browsers and attributes of user Internet connections have a bearing on the time it takes for pages to load, especially pages with a lot of small objects.
In case you’re not aware, Google is very interested in helping website owners reduce their page load time as a way of improving the user experience, as they refer to it. If you are interested in improving your search engine traffic, this means you probably should be very interested in it as well!
