Analyzing Webpage Performance with AJAX Edition 4

Analyzing Webpage Performance with AJAX Edition 4: It’s been a while since we released the last major version of Compuware dynaTrace AJAX Edition. With AJAX Edition 4 we introduce the capability to test across all versions of Internet Explorer (IE) starting with IE6 and all versions of Firefox starting with 3.6.
Why is this important? Well, check out the test results of several pages we tested on IE6, 7 and 8 and contrast them with tests of the same pages using Firefox 16 and 18. A product page on Zappos.com loads in 1.3 seconds in Firefox 18 as compared to 5.6 seconds in IE6. That is four times slower on IE’s rather ancient browser. Despite a concerted effort by the industry to get people to use updated browsers (including this one by Microsoft), we’re still seeing a big mix in the browser versions people use to access websites. That means it’s important to analyze webpage performance across browser versions to ensure your site functions and performs as it’s supposed to.
In this blog post I want to show you how to do it and what the typical differences in performance are.

Web Cryptography API on Securing JavaScript

Web Cryptography API on Securing JavaScript:

One of the latest development for a more secure JavaScript, is the Web Cryptography API by the W3C. The latest working draft released on January 8th, 2013, describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.
Some Web Cryptography API Use Cases have been developed to represent some of the set of expected functionality that may be achieved by the Web Cryptography API. Examples include Banking Transactions, Video services, Code Sanctity and Bandwidth Saver, Encrypted Communications via Webmail, and Off The Record Real Time Messaging.
According to the working group, the expected Candidate Recommendation is scheduled for August 2013. The Web Cryptography API is actually a working draft, and you are encouraged to send your comments or even join the working group.
