JSIO Performance Results

Posted on by

Below are two graphs plotting the number of images on a page against the total KB transferred by Chrome 13 for both a page with JSIO and without JSIO (which I, for some reason have called a “plain” page).

I build websites for a living, so I have a lot of folders of images from various websites lying around which form the two data sets for the graphs. I’d like to think of them as a typical set of website images, but you may argue that they are typical for the websites that I build.

I knocked up a script that when given a folder of images, will output a “plain” HTML page, a JSIO HTML page and a JSIO resources file with the following numbers of images on them: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 and 1100. Before generating any of the pages, the order of the images were randomised to better represent a web page’s inclusion of different images for different purposes.

Chrome 13 was used with the developer toolbar to determine how many requests were being made and the actual KB transferred (with slight rounding errors) by the browser. In my opinion I would say that Apache was set up to serve image and javascript content typical of many servers on the internet in that images were not gzipped but javascript files were; the register, bbc, for example.

What is interesting to note is that the number of bytes transferred by JSIO are consistently lower than the bytes transferred by a plain HTML page…but not by a lot. The file size inflation due to base64 encoding seems to cancel out a lot of bytes the gained from making fewer requests. However, it is obvious that JSIO won’t actually lose you any bytes, but it isn’t going to save you a substantial amount. That said, saving bytes isn’t the only benefit of JSIO, remember that one of JSIO’s goals is also to alleviate some of the problems surrounding the creation and use of image sprites – which it does also do very well.

The graph below is just for fun, it plots the number of requests made by JSIO pages against the number of requests made by plain HTML pages. Note the JSIO pages make a constant 4 requests (index.html, jsio.js, jsio-resources.js and jsio.gif) independent of how many images are on the page:

  1. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at yaverobond kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

  2. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at trendingnewsfeed extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  3. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at zylra added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  4. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at whitedossier earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  5. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at xelivobonding continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  6. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at vexarotrustco pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  7. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at xevirocore maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  8. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at peacelandworld confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  9. The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at qulavotrustco added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  10. Now placing this in the same category as a few other sites I have come to trust, and a look at ulvionbondgroup continued the placement decision, the small category of fully trusted sites is one I extend rarely and only after multiple positive reading sessions and this site has earned the category placement methodically over time.

  14. Thanks again for the post I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week and after I went over bavix the rest of the site looked equally promising definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  15. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at neviromart continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

  17. Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at pixelmoar extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.

  18. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at ibdesignstreet confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  19. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at adawebcreative reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  21. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at modernshoppinginfrastructure continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  23. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at brucknerbythebridge kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  24. Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at qulavobonding confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

  28. Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at maverobond fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.

  32. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at BigJanuaryCleanup would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  34. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at ulvaroline would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  35. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at renoprovisions continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.

  36. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at zexaroline reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  39. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear and a look at enterprisegrowthpartnerships reinforced that quiet protective feeling the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

  40. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at qulavoline extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.

  41. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at navirotrustco similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  44. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at nolarotrustco kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  45. Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at simpleecommercesolutions added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

  46. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at eleanakonstantellos extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  47. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at plavexline kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

  49. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at centensports extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.
