My post on NZ Homepage Hall of Shame has shaken things up. I’ve had a number of emails and comments on the blog. A number of sites are now actively looking at improving their page architecture.
Update: A proposal to add web compression to the e-govt webstandard ! Great news.
Kudo’s to New Zealand Herald and Vodafone for taking action and improving their pages. Their numbers now are:
| Site |
YSlow Rating |
HTTP GZIP |
Size (K) |
# of JS files |
# of CSS files |
Modem time @6k/s (secs) |
| nzherald.co.nz | 46 | some | 440.3 | 11 | 1 | 73.38 |
| vodafone.co.nz | 50 | none | 253.6 | 8 | 3 | 42.26 |
I’ll be doing another audit soon to profile the rest of the sites.

The Herald has been gzipping for a long time. There was no change in the last week so I suspect there might have been an error in your test last week.
