At the SingaporeJS Meetup we've been doing a weekly session over the past few months to go through the superb High Performance Browser Networking book.

Another great place to get started learning about performance optimisation is Google PageSpeed Insights which analyses websites and makes recommendates based on Google's guidelines.
