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. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at modernwoodcases reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  3. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups modals cookie banners stacking on top of each other and a quick visit to colossal-heart confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  4. A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at nolarotrustee added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.

  5. Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at brainsight-reeracoen kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.

  6. Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at pinellasehe kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.

  7. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at threebakingsheetstothewind kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  8. Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at skibumart reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.

  9. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at tranquilleeyecream extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  10. Probably the best thing I have read on this topic in the past month, and a stop at longislandhomesforheroes extended that ranking, the casual ranking of recent reading is informal but real and this site has been winning those rankings for me on this topic specifically over the last several weeks of regular reading sessions.

  12. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at powerupwny carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  13. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right and a quick visit to hawaiineiartcontest confirmed the same standards run across the broader site recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  14. Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at DeathRayVision extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.

  15. Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to maveroline earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  16. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at Letter4Reform the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.

  18. Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at bighappenshere kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

  19. Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at MasquePourVous extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.

  20. Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at choice-eats only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  21. Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at hopprojects extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.

  22. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at crownaboutnow added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

  23. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at morixoholdings extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  25. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after votethurm I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  29. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site and a look at hellgate100nyc confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.

  30. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at stktgroup added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  32. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to kryvoxcore kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  33. Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at flourandoak similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.

  34. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at quvexacapital 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.

  36. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at ChelseaBarracksKitchen only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  37. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at quinttatro maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  41. Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at larkfest2013 earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

  42. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at GoesToTown 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.

  44. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at walkunchained added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  45. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through trabas007hoki only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

  47. Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at moeinclub kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

  49. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at stacoa reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  50. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at fivestarlandandlivestock maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
