In today’s 31 Days to Higher Conversions episode we quickly go over what are cashing and Gzip compression and provide resources for setting them up. We also look at Yahoo! Yslow browser extension and Google Page Speed service to evaluate your website’s speed and performance.

Great post! Good to see YSlow being used more and more. Just one quick note: YSlow is no longer maintained by Yahoo!, it’s an open source project which I’m leading. The official project URL is http://yslow.org where you can get links to all versions as well as the source code. Anyone is more than welcome to fork the code and start contributing.
Thanks,
@marcelduran, follow @yslow for YSlow announcements
Thanks for your note Marcel (all of them). I’ve updated the link here, YouTube and Vimeo.
