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. Many caching plugins like WPRocket also offer Gzip compression right out of the box. Brotli Compression.

I'm sure this delivered large performance improvements and I wouldn't try arguing against it. Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway.

Poor performance has a compound effect on user expectations at an ecosystem level. Live by the link, die by the link.

In this article, we will look at how this can improve the reporting/analytical query performance in MySQL. Aurora Parallel Query response time (for queries which can not use indexes) can be 5x-10x better compared to the non-parallel fully cached operations. The second and third run used the cached data.

For many years, I explicitly advised people not to run their SQL Server workloads on AMD hardware because of the much lower single-threaded CPU performance and consequently higher SQL Server core license costs. This has led to a very noticeable reduction in generational performance increases since Broadwell-EP, as shown in Figure 1.
