Mozilla Releases Firefox 4 Beta for Maemo and Android

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Mozilla’s efforts to scale down the Firefox browser and make it work on mobile devices took another step forward today with the release of Firefox 4 beta for Maemo and Android. On Android, the browser’s performance is still not competitive with that of the platform’s native WebKit-based browser, but the gap is starting to close.

Firefox’s large disk footprint is also still problematic on Android, especially on devices like the Nexus One that have limited internal storage capacity. A fresh installation of Firefox on Android uses roughly 30MB of storage space. The first time it starts, it unpacks another 14MB, which takes about 15 seconds. Subsequent startups are faster, typically taking between 2 and 4 seconds.

Google using Chrome to reform slow Websites

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

chromeGoogle plans to use Chrome as a tool to reform the Web by encouraging use of a technology the company says will reduce data-transfer delays.

The technology, called False Start, has the potential to reduce one round of back-and-forth communications between a browser and a Web server when establishing an encrypted connection. That’s a significant time savings–about 7 hundredths of a second for communication across the United States and 1.5 tenths of a second from California to Europe.

Even better, unlike many protocol improvements that could improve communications, it doesn’t even require changes on both sides of the network connection. Only the browser needs to be changed, according to False Start co-author Adam Langley. Naturally, Google has begun building False Start into its Chrome browser, judging by a Chrome command-line switch that lets Chrome users disable it.

Great, right? Free speed for everyone! Well, actually, there’s a catch.

“We are aware that this change will cause issues with about 0.05 percent of Web sites on the Internet,” Langley said in a blog post.

That may not sound like a lot, but according to NetCraft’s measurements, there were 227 million Web sites in September. Proportionally, the problem is small, but in absolute terms False Start wouldn’t work with about 114,000 sites by NetCraft’s tally.

SEO Recommendations

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Dear readers,

In this first post we would like to share with you a list of helpful recommendations that we have recently prepared on what you need to do, what you don’t have to do, and what you can do externally regarding optimizing your website for search engines.

Tips on what should be done:

  1. Number of words per page should be 500 – 3000 (40 lines with 10 – 15 words in a row). The more text on page, the better; because there is a possibility of a random match of a phrase in a search engine’s search line.
  2. Use keywords no less than 3 – 4 times per page. Upper limit depends on text amount. In case of a keyword, words that make up a phrase should be used several times on page in that order in which they are represented in the keyword. Besides, the words contained in the keyword should be met separately on the page a number of times. Moreover, the number of times separate words from the keyword are used on the page shouldn’t coincide with the number of times the keyword is met in the text as well as its other constituent words.
