Taking a quick look at http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/html/optimize/ and http://djnewsplus.com/page/0,,7_0001,00.html leads me to the following action items:
- Convert everything to XHTML 1.0
- Purge HTML of presentation markup and move entirely to CSS
- Shrink style names in CSS file
- Shrink Javascript files (short variable names, remove ws, include at the end with onload)
- Get rid of comments in HTML
- Shrink URLs and apply mod_rewrite (e.g. "/search/advanced" becomes "/sa" or "/article/0,,SB108133380679444571,00.html?mod=t100_Latest_On_Stocks_Bonds" becomes "/a/SB108133380679444571/7" or /search?LINKTEXT=Telecommunications&NWCODE=I/TLS&NWCODE=I/CTS becomes /kc/12)
- Use mod_gzip to compress HTML on the fly
- Get rid of meta tags, other than autorefresh
- Put lengthy parameter lists into the servlets/jsps themselves
