WebKit Page Cache I – The Basics

A discussion of Page Cache and its implementation in WebKit. Interesting read because it explains the headaches browser vendors have to deal with.

Personally I'd like to know more about iPhone Safari's handling (or rather, non-handling) of page cache or any kind of cache.

AT&T Dev Central

Well wel, AT&T gives decent information about the devices they sell. They even tell you which browser the device uses, and that's truly unique.

The only major flaw is that it does not have a search function. But otherwise it compares very well to other such lists I've seen.

Browserscope wraps up several automated browser tests (notably Steve Souders' UA Profiler) into one test suite.

It's evidently the next step in browser testing. Please do the tests and help out your fellow front-end engineers.
