Some of the largest enterprises and public sector organizations in Italy are using AWS to build innovations and power their businesses, drive cost savings, accelerate innovation, and speed time-to-market. This helps support over 50 million searches every month on its networks across Italy. Today, their time-to-market is close to zero.

When I first stumbled on the idea of skeleton screens, thanks to Luke Wroblewski talking about them back in 2013 , I latched onto them pretty quickly. Given the constraints the app faced with the network and web view performance at the time, they were a bit limited on what they could do from a technical perspective.

These compressed files allow for quicker network transfers so that your website can be loaded as fast as possible. As we discussed in our article on how to test your page weight , compression is pretty much standard practice in web performance now, so you absolutely want to make sure you’re taking advantage of it.

Studies by Gartner showed that as early as 2013, companies were bringing in $26 billion through app revenues. Not only will this help speed track the testing process, it will also help make the objectives clearer. Here are a few routine testing methodologies used by QA specialists to ensure optimum performance.

Server rendering is also cool—even if that’s just how we say “send HTML over the network” these days. What follows are my findings on React performance as I’ve tried to meet this challenge in a way that’s best for users. A ASUS X550CC laptop from 2013 running Windows 10 on Chrome 83.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

Since its inception in 2013, Docker has become the de facto standard for developers due to its ability to make more efficient use of system resources, ship software faster, and minimize security issues. Microservices architecture combines loosely-coupled functions to create high-performing applications. Speeds up development.

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.

The best available proxy data also suggests that shared caches would have a minimal positive effect on performance. Removal also creates a performance cliff for content that assumes cache availability. De-duplication can prevent multiple copies on disk, but we're out of luck on reducing network costs. None of this holds.
