Themes

Thought I'd mention that one of my favourite front-end tools has recieved an update:

http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

Send it to your site and it'll tell you about what's making your site slow and how to fix it, and the list is in priority order so you know where to start.

Great for themes (e.g. picks up if you've forgotten to fully compress your images), but also good for testing your Moodle installatino (e.g. it'll check if you've got gzip turned on).

PS I just created this exact post, word for word in the Hardware and Performance forum, so if you want to talk about using this tool to make your Moodle site faster in areas other than the theme, you might want to go there instead:
