When I arrived Matt was Jesus of Nazareth, seated at the edge of the stage, surrounded by disciples hearing the Wordpress gospel. I got Matt Mullenweg, founding master Jedi of Wordpress, to recap some of his Web 2.0 Expo presentation on the Moral Philosophy of Web Performance.
Skip to Matt on Scotch.
Among the 14 commandments of web performance, which comprise this moral philosophy, Matt listed a few; “Have fewer objects on your page, use a content delivery network, don’t use e-tags,” Matt said. He cited these commandments from one of Steve Souders’ books, High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers
I was busy getting some tasks done for the day job, so I couldn’t film Matt’s presentation; nonetheless, here is Matt’s Improving Performance in Mature Web Apps presentation at the Velocity ’09 Conference.
And to my surprise Matt is a gurgle and swallow of a scotch connoisseur. Matt reviews distinct scotch brands with Gary Vaynerchuk in the following video:

Web performance and site speed is going to become really important when it becomes a Google ranking factor in 2010, we’re using aptimize on our site (Wordpress) and have found it useful for automating good performance practice and increasing the speed of out site. Thanks for Matts presentation ‘Parables of Performance’, I haven’t seen it before.
Nice interview. That was funny.
Thnx for watching, Casey! i’ve got more interviews from web 2.0 on their way.
