Gomez Executives to Discuss Cross-Browser Compatibility and Web Performance Testing at the Ajax Experience 2009 Conference

DETROIT September 8, 2009

Experts from Gomez, Inc. (www.gomez.com), the leader in Web application experience management, will be delivering a workshop at next week’s Ajax Experience 2009 about the challenges of, and best practices for,  optimizing Web application performance across multiple browsers.

The session, entitled “Web Compatibility and Performance Testing in a Multi-Browser World,” will be delivered by Gomez CTO, Imad Mouline and Buddy Brewer, Director, Agent Technology, and takes place on Tuesday, September 15 at 10:00 a.m. at the Hilton Boston Logan Airport.

Today’s browser diversity brings new challenges to Web designers and developers. JavaScript loads and performs differently across browsers such as Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Firefox, Safari and Chrome, and can lead to inconsistent content rendering, poor Web performance, and frustrated end-users. Traditional methods for Web performance testing and monitoring cannot find and diagnose browser-specific, client-side performance problems. This session will help developers learn how to:

  • Improve content rendering across multiple browsers and operating systems
  • Understand and improve object load order, browser by browser
  • Ensure that third-party content doesn’t degrade client-side performance
  • Realistically preview performance under load in each browser.

“Today’s Web developer must take into consideration that end-users will be accessing their applications from a variety of browsers,” said Imad Mouline, Gomez’s CTO. “Opportunities for browser-specific optimization can be found and maximized before an application goes into production. This session will walk developers through the tools and techniques available to them.”
