Google has some really nice stuff to read, written in an easy to read way, about all sorts of things. It’s a lot about front-end things, but as a back-end developer I’m responsible to build pages & sites with an infrastructure which leverages these things.
The things I found recently:
- Web Performance Best Practices
In the docs for Google Page Speed, there is a whole section with rules! - Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide
The basics you should now and apply for Google (and other search engines around the world). - Google Trifecta
This one is actually a Webinar, so the “read” from above does not apply, but it covers Website Optimizer, Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools.
