After my team launched a new site design and blog system for the [Yahoo! Developer Network][ydn], I decided to review the performance of this site to see where it could be improved. In summary, after removing one performance-hogging widget (Lijit search widget) and following recommendations from YSlow and Page Speed, the site should be running much faster now.
Taking a closer look at some traffic numbers today for this site, I noticed a revealing pattern for one of my popular posts regarding BlackBerry simulators: the traffic on Saturdays and Sundays is quite low. Does that mean it’s mostly enterprise or commercial software developers working on BlackBerry? No hackers working on the weekend?
