Mobile web is coming in 2011 with a strong wave; mobile devices are more powerful every year; mobile browsers are evolving even faster than desktop web browser; and tablets have mobile browsers rather tan desktop browsers. That is a good mix of new problems for WPO.
How to deal with mobile browsers?
We will discuss challenges on WPO measurement techniques over mobile browsers. How can we create accurate waterfall charts? Do emulators help? What about HTTP proxies?
We are going to show live demos of HTTP waterfalls from mobile browsers and how to get them accurately.
How is WPO impacting on mobile web?
We’ll also get in the well-known techniques for website’s performance and how real mobile devices react to the most important ones. What are the big differences between desktop and mobile web performance? Why WPO has more impact on mobile environment?
This session includes a brief overview about mobile web browsers today, what we should expect in this year and how to deal with pseudo-browsers, having million of downloads at stores.
We will get into real examples and their differents behaviours in the most important mobile & tablet browsers, including platforms such as iOS, Android, webOS, BlackBerry, Symbian and other mid-end devices.
We will see how new stuff in HTML5 and related-technologies can help our mobile websites to improve performance.

Excellent presentation, too bad the video is not on here but the slides are great. Thanks!
This was one of the best presentations at the conference, and the easily the one most densely packed with useful tactical information.
It agree with Kevin. Thank Maximiliano.
This was my favorite session. I took away usable tips that I intend to put into practice with our mobile sites. Thanks!
Thanks Jon!. Slides will be available in this site soon
Excellent! Will you make your presentation slides available? I’m going to make a pitch to redesign our mobile websites and would love to use it for support.
Thanks Steve! It’s great to be there again this year with lot of excited tricks for mobile web performance! I’m preparing my legs for my trip from Buenos Aires to the SF bay area!
Maximiliano delivered a great session at last year’s Velocity. I’m excited to have him back again (all the way from Buenos Aires!). This workshop is going to dovetail nicely with Ariya’s immediately before. I encourage mobile web devs to attend both of these.
