  Web Developers can optimize pages to make them load lightning fast, and 80 to 90 percent of the optimization comes from the client side. With a strong correlation to page load time and a sites’ financial performance optimizing performance on the front end can help to enhance the user experience. 
  

  Reducing the response times of your website can help to reduce the bandwidth and hardware use on both the server side as well as the client side.

  Ever have problems with your website looking weird and having CSS problems?  Got a piece of Javascript that’s been acting buggy?  It’s frustrating when you’re not sure where to turn.  Thankfully, most modern browsers come with tools to help debug CSS and Javascript issues.  If it isn’t built into the browser, there’s probably a plugin for it.  Sarah Dutkiewicz (@sadukie), owner of Cleveland Tech Events and Cleveland Tech Consulting, will take us through debugging CSS and Javascript using a variety of browsers – including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and yes, even Internet Explorer.
