The mythical “fast” web page

Web performance can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Fundamentally, it’s a question of how fast a web page is. But fast to whom?

When this page loaded moments ago, was it fast? If so, congratulations, you had a fast experience. So ask yourself, does that make this a fast page? Not so fast! Just because you had a fast experience doesn’t mean everyone else does too. You might even revisit this page and have yourself a slow experience.

vipe

vipe allows you to run your editor in the middle of a unix pipeline and edit the data that is being piped between programs. Your editor will have the full data being piped from command1 loaded into it, and when you close it, that data will be piped into command2.
