This includes the work done by the server, the client and the intermediary communications networks that transmit data between the two. An obvious metric here is CPU usage, but memory usage and other forms of data storage also play their part. All of the major browsers provide developer tools that allow us to measure network activity.

The best request is the one that never happens: in the fight for fast websites, avoiding the network is far better than hitting the network at all. Any asset that carries the no-store directive will always hit the network, no matter what. How is your knowledge of caching and Cache-Control headers? Now we’d use no-store.

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two.

Sites that use an excess of resources, whether on the network or on the device, don’t just cause slow experiences, but can leave entire groups of people out. Similarly, there is a growing gap between what a top of the line network connection can handle and what someone with a poor mobile connection or satellite connection can handle.
