Um…. instead of messing around with TCP, why don’t they take a look at SCTP? It solves a load of problems inherent with TCP that are hard to solve with tinkering and its optimised for reliable transfer of multiple streams of data. Is this a case of Not Invented Here?

The PHP tips are pretty much wrong…
I really wonder how google could post such nonense.

hey #znice…

the ability/sequence of loading of content, or 3rd party ads/widgets is a function of the server/server-side apps and how it serves out the ’stuff’ that your browser gets.

the problem that you have, is that the site you’re reading doesn’t really have an incentive (skill/etc..) to really be able to continually measure the speed at which the reader/browser will recieve the complete end page (ie the content, and the 3rd party stuff).

in fact, the time to download, could vary greatly for different users depending on where on the net the browser/user is located.

this was the prinicple problem that akamai was created to resolve. but it never was meant to deal with all of the different widgets that are out there, coming from small companies, that are being accessed/delivered by other small websites as well.. to be blunt, it’s a mess…!

but as far as the ad driven network/thesis, i’m of the opinion that more and more people/sites are starting to realize that ads aren’t doing it. that if you’re trying to create content, because you want to wrap ads around it to support your lifestyle, then ads aren’t bringing in the bacon.

i have no “one size fits all” solution for how to allow content to be developed/displayed to the masses.. actually i do.. if you want to create content, create it.. don’t expect to be paid for it.. oh wait.. who the hell really wants to do that!!!

you could always produce content that a solid/devoted group would want to read, and get them to pay for it..

oh, wait.. that means you’d actually have to have compelling content, and then you’d have to more or less sell it.. and selling is damn hard.

don’t get me wrong. i’m not against ads/3rd party widgets.. for me, i simply block 95% of them.. and never see them.. but i still have to go through the time of processing them, and removing them from the data stream that i see..

so in conclusion, if google really wants to ’speed’ up the time to load issue, resolve this issue..

Indeed Google speeds and accuracy is the factor behind its success in search industry but it has to maintain this due to increase volumes of searches by automated softwares and proxies.

I donot know how much is google impacting the green house effect but their single search release fair amount of carbondioxide in the atomsphere.

I cant browse without adblock – without it would be like driving without brakes – you just have to have it – after sometime u just get addicted – and you cant experience web with ads anymore..

@timy11
Third party ads are among the last page elements that firefox renders. I can’t speak of other browsers, but I know that when I load a page like this one in firefox, as I did a few seconds ago, I am able to read all of the non-embedded/non-third-party content long before firefox renders content served up from third-party machines. Guess what we really need, then, is a more precise definition of “slowness” if we want to say that third party ads contribute to the “slowness of the web” becuase the portions of content that I care about load no slower when they are accompanied by other embedded content — it is just that embedded content that is slow to load.
