David Artz, co-author of Website Optimization (Andy King) and Director of Website Optimization at AOL will walk through the secrets behind his success in making performance optimization resonate with teams over the years, including but not limited to presentation/persuasion tactics through compelling visuals and guerrilla redesigns, coding practices such as loading functionality and content only when necessary while balancing SEO, and simple reports and web crawlers that add transparency into performance for product teams and are easy enough for executives to action on. What was once proprietary knowledge has been approved for distribution to the masses!
