Tue-Thu Apr 25-27: High-Performance and Low-Latency C++ (Stockholm). On April 25-27, I’ll be in Stockholm (Kista) giving a three-day seminar on “High-Performance and Low-Latency C++.” If you’re interested in attending, please check out the links, and I look forward to meeting and re-meeting many of you there.

A 2017 study by Akamai says as much when it found that even a 100ms delay in page load can decrease conversions by 7% and lose 1% of their sales for every 100ms it takes for their site to load which, at the time of the study, was equivalent to $1.6 Compressing, minifying and caching assets.

The talks are up on YouTube , including my own (behind a paywall, but the slides are freely available [1] ): The talk, like this post, is an update on network and CPU realities this series has documented since 2017.

TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. 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. Here begins our 2021 adventure.

Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow. Maybe "ambush by JS"? First Load.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. PRPL stands for Pushing critical resource, Rendering initial route, Pre-caching remaining routes and Lazy-loading remaining routes on demand.
