I was interested in this talk because I am applying in The Open Source Zone some of the techniques mentioned in the talk’s introductory blurb. Thus I wanted to see if what I’m doing right now is the best possible way or if there’s space for further optimizations.

Apparently I should seriously think about adding E-Tag and Last-Modified headers. This shouldn’t be too hard and give a much larger payback than just using the Expires header as I’m doing now. Of course, I need to check how easy it is to do this on Cocoon’s side.

One thing I just learned is that in order to force a refresh of the cache, I can issue a request with a Cache-Control: max-age=0. Nice to know.
