Abstract
Whether you have already built your site or you are about to embark on building a responsive project, you need to ensure you take time to optimize your site for performance. Performance is not a nice-to-have feature, but rather a necessity of the multidevice modern web, as it is a key part of the user experience. Web site performance, however, is a very large subject area. In fact, there are books dedicated to only parts of it, so I am going to focus in this chapter on areas of web site performance and site optimization that can make the biggest difference to a responsive site.
