A grade performance with CRE Loaded

For last few days worked on performance optimization of CRE Loaded site. Now all major performance measuring tools Yahoo YSlow, Google Page Speed and WebPageTest.org are rating the site as A grade site.

I have been studying and applying performance guidelines for a while. Recent addition of Site Performance stats in Google Webmaster Tools have motivated me to run a full optimization cycle on CRE Loaded.

A number of performance tweaks were applied over a time, like cache, gzip compression, image cache etc. Still few things were missing like proper use of browser cache, http requests, css gzip etc.

Now following are results from performance measuring tools
