The area he was in was served by satellite internet access, and experienced significant latency (a floor of 506 milliseconds) and packet loss (between 50-80% was typical). To counter this, the school he was visiting sets up their own local caching server. But, as he explains, this approach falls apart when HTTPS gets involved.

To mitigate the performance issues, we had to add a lot of (unbudgeted) extra servers and had to aggressively cache pages on a reverse proxy. Jonne Kats. Challenges.

Speed is also something Google considers when ranking your website placement on mobile. Go ahead, briefly look at the things that Lighthouse says are wrong with the website. Before we do anything else, let’s see what happens when we first hit the website. Compressing, minifying and caching assets. It gets redirected.

Due to the design of web browser APIs, there are currently no mechanisms for querying requests and their relative responses after the fact. Let’s assume all website images return this Server-Timing header structure. When acting as a proxy, they can be used to read and modify requests coming from and responses returning to the website.

A few months back, I was pulled into a scenario where a business has been working with a leading CMS vendor to roll-out a network of multi-regional websites. If you put your whole website on CDN, technically you don’t need a large number of server infrastructure and CMS licenses.

Further, with the growth and scale of Amazon.com, boundless horizontal scale needed to be a key design point--scaling up simply wasn't an option. Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

The risks embedded in these deep-wetware effects, and their cross-origin implications, mean that your website's success is partially a function of the health of the commons. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The Moto G4 , for example.

Cons of logical backups As it reads all data, it can be slow and will require disk reads too for databases that are larger than the RAM available for the WT cache—the WT cache pressure increases, which slows down the performance. Hence, the node would still be available for other operations.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!
