The Afterburner: Modules for optimizing Drupal for fast seo friendly websites

Drupal is a tremendous cross between a CMS and a Framework for web development that makes developing a dynamic and robust website in a hurry easy (or easier), but out of the box it leaves much to be desired in terms of performance and content optimization.

In this session we will go over the third party modules and services that can be used to optimize your drupal based site for performance and search engine optimization.
