Can you describe the steps you would take if the performance of a website here at Cisco began to degrade?

"If I recognized that one of Cisco's website's performance is beginning to degrade, I would take some steps in a specific order to diagnose the problem. The first thing I'd look for is the load and whether the number of hits is within scope. If this was not the issue, I would look at the hardware to make sure the network connections were optimized for this type of website. Once I confirmed this, I'd begin to look at the components of the website. Steps I may take to resolve these issues include enabling compression, reducing redirects, enabling browser caching, optimizing the JavaScript, and making sure that the images on the site are not causing the problem. Fixing these issues normally speeds up the website and brings it back to its performance window."
