Google recommends that TTFB be 800ms at the 75th percentile. Looking at the industry benchmarks for US retailers , four well-known sites have backend times that are approaching – or well beyond – that threshold. Charlie Vazac introduced server timing in a Performance Calendar post circa 2018.

vl : I have a hilarious story about this from Google: I wanted second 30" monitor, so I filed a ticket. JavaScript benchmark. . $2 billion : Pokémon GO revenue since launch; 10 : say happy birthday to StackOverflow; $148 million : Uber data breach fine; 75% : streaming music industry revenue in the US; 5.2 How does Apple do it?!

This post was originally published in July 2018 and was updated in July 2023. Doing extensive benchmarks will be the subject of a future blog post. As of Aug 2018, Aurora provides another option that does not require provisioned capacity. What are the differences between Aurora and RDS? How do I choose which one to use?

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow.
