Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Just because everything works perfectly during production testing doesn’t mean that will be the case when your website is flooded with traffic.

The term site reliability engineering first came into existence at Google in 2003 when a site reliability team was created. The term “Site Reliability Engineer” is attributed to Ben Treynor Sloss, now a Vice President of Engineering at Google. At that time, the team was made up of software engineers.

Using service workers can actually reduce the amount of energy that users that visit your website consume. Each HTTP request that is required for the page needs to travel over the network and in turn this consumes energy on both the server and client. I already had Google Analytics installed, so I added the following code to each page.

Why do we need Lighthouse at all when Google also offers similar reports in PageSpeed Insights (PSI)? CrUX data is important because it is how web core vitals are measured, which, in turn, are a ranking factor for Google’s search results. The reason for the distinction is that there are different ways to throttle a network for testing.

Steps 1-3 are all network constrained. How quickly they happen, and the cost, depends mostly on the characteristics of the network: the bandwidth, latency, cost of data, etc. All of the optimizations that take place focus primarily on the reducing the impact on the network (1-3).

The other issue is that the data I’m getting back is based on lab simulations where I can add throttling, determine the device that’s used, and the network connection, among other simulated conditions. On that note, it’s worth calling out that there are multiple flavors of network throttling. Real usage data would be better, of course.
