Yahoo! Developer Network has posted a great article on 34 ways to speed up your website.  They divide these 34 methods into 7 categories:

• Content
• Server
• Cookies
• CSS
• Javascript
• Images
• Mobile

Some of the practices are a bit advanced and hard to implement for most people.  For example, setting up a content delivery network is by no means a trivial task and is probably unnecessary unless your website is serving tens of thousands of visitors per day.

Other tips are quite simple and are things that any seasoned web developer should already be doing, i.e. putting stylesheets at the top of the page and optimizing images.

This is a great article to keep bookmarked if you’re starting a new project or if you’re looking to improve an existing one!
