Japanese companies and consumers have become used to low latency and high-speed networking available between their businesses, residences, and mobile devices. With the launch of the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region, companies can now leverage the AWS suite of infrastructure web services directly connected to Japanese networks.

The OSI Model is like a layer cake of how data moves through networks. This means it specifically looks at the content of the data (like the writing inside our letters from the analogy) rather than just the envelope.So, what is the difference between a Firewall at the application level and network level?Network-level

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. Modern network performance and availability.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency. Photo by von Vix.

Customers with complex computational workloads such as tightly coupled, parallel processes, or with applications that are very sensitive to network performance, can now achieve the same high compute and networking performance provided by custom-built infrastructure while benefiting from the elasticity, flexibility and cost advantages of Amazon EC2.

Study common complaints coming into customer service and sales team, study analytics for high bounce rates and conversion drops. Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ). Yet often, analytics alone doesn’t provide a complete picture.

To get accurate results and goals though, first study your analytics to see what your users are on. If you don’t have a device at hand, emulate mobile experience on desktop by testing on a throttled network (e.g. While download times are critical for low-end networks, parse times are critical for phones with slow CPUs.
