However, that pesky 20% on the back end can have a big impact on downstream metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and any other 'loading' metric you can think of. Charlie Vazac introduced server timing in a Performance Calendar post circa 2018. Also measured by round trip time (RTT).

This post at an entry-level discusses the options you have to improve log throughput in your benchmark environment. . Additionally for the log disk component it is latency for an individual write that is crucial rather than the total I/O bandwidth. log 2018-11-02T15:39:25.628040+00:00 Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 1403.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Another window into this question is provided by the Web Confluence Metrics project.

The scale of the effect can be deeply situational or hard to suss out without solid metrics. Since then, the metrics conversation has moved forward significantly, culminating in Core Web Vitals , reported via the Chrome User Experience Report to reflect the real-world experiences of users. Today, either method returns a similar answer.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. This helps support executive sponsors who then have meaningful metrics to point to in justifying the investments being made. Very rarely have we seen a team succeed that doesn’t set budgets, gather RUM metrics, and carry representative customer devices.
