Hello all,

Somehow I have been conned into doing a Charity Cycle from Buck Palace to Windsor Castle... a bum-numbing 45mi (72Kms)!

The standard “blurb” is below but if you could click on the link and donate something, however small, that would be good, as the Prince’s Trust is a great cause (despite Prince Charles being loopier than a rollercoaster... oh well!).

I'm taking part in this year's Palace to Palace bike ride and cycling 45 miles from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle to raise money for The Prince's Trust.

Please support me by visiting my fundraising page and making a donation. Click on the link below:

thanks & all the best,

Steve

Alexa has performance rankings too!

I must confess that this one had slipped past me… I wasn’t aware that Alexa was now offering performance rankings as well! Alexa now shows an “average load time” as well as a “comparitive ranking” (i.e. 51% of sites are slower). Interesting data for your next website analysis! It’s worth noting that the quoted “1.404 seconds” is about the same as the “repeat view” measurement webpagetest.org (testing from the UK node shows that www.johnlewis.com takes about 7.2 seconds to load with an empty cache, and 1.6 seconds with a primed cache, median values over 5 runs). Presumably this is an average across all Alexa toolbar users, on all johnlewis.com pages (large and small) with empty and primed caches.

Load Testing Case Study

Since we are talking about presentations here is another one I did for the Load Testing Expo in 2009. It’s a case study of how we did the performance testing for an internet-facing content/community/jobs site.

Real-time Web Analytics just took a step forward with Pion v4

Awesome news from Atomic Lab’s that Pion 4.0 has been released! The new Dashboard functionality looks amazing – real-time web analytics likes page views, visitor sessions etc as well as performance analytics like load time and server reply time – along with the usual Pion goodness like tag-free analytics and customer journey visualisation with the Replay feature. Can’t wait to implement this on some customer sites!
