What has Google done so far to make the web faster?
Google has been actively working on various efforts on improving the web’s performance. We are active contributors to several open source projects that hold a lot of promise to speed up the web, including the effort around HTML5. In addition, by launching Google Chrome, Chromium and V8, we believe we have contributed in the recent spurt of innovation in the browser space and have helped shift the attention of browser vendors to improving JavaScript performance. We have also launched other open source projects such as Native Client and Shared Dictionary Compression over HTTP (SDCH) that help improve the performance of web applications. Finally, our engineering teams have worked hard to make our products as fast as possible to ensure a better user experience. Finally, we also launched code.google.com/speed a site with information for web developers interested to speed up their sites. This includes tips, tutorials and tools such as our own recently open sourced Page Speed.
