There seems to be a bridge now connecting the tech community and IPOs—a channel that has seen a lot of freshly paved passages in the last two to three months.  The majority of high profile IPOs became successful so far, making way for the IPO fever within the IT space. With interest growing over the buzz of going public, it’s quite thought-provoking to know whether they are able to maintain at-par website performance while rising into fame. This is idea inspired Coach Wei to analyse web page loading speeds of tech sites that have enlisted IPOs this year. Here are some conclusive findings:

• LinkedIn joining the IPO family was a marriage written in the stars, as social networking becomes a hit in the stock market scene. Furthermore, the social networking-job hunting platform has been investing well in their engineering as they occupy the top spot with a record time of 1.42 seconds. Zynga and Pandora ranked second and third respectively.

• Despite Fusion-io’s stellar debut at the stock market exchange and above-the ceiling valuation, its website’s performance is not looking as good as other facets of the organization. Placing last among all other companies which went public since 2007, Fusion-io’s speed of loading is approximately 8 seconds based on the Yottaa score. This is quite surprising/disappointing to know, especially as they are known to significantly reduce latency while increasing data efficiency with their products. However, this is not directly impacting their market stance today, though their monthly visitors are now down to just 6,ooo.

With shopping, social networking, cloud computing, and the personal cloud boom, many participants have made IT companies a big hit in capital markets. This year has been a rave party for tech IPO’s, undoubtedly.

The warm reception, plus the incessant demand for technological development, have lured other key players to join the craze. In 2012, no less than Zuck’s own Facebook will have its public entrée—it could-be the grandest and priciest welcome of all, with a valuation soaring to $100 billion.  I wonder how fast we’ll be able to flip through photos then.
