That performance golden rule still holds true today. Charlie Vazac introduced server timing in a Performance Calendar post circa 2018. The use of server-timing headers by content delivery networks closes a big gap. Latency – How much time does it take to deliver a packet from A to B.

Existing systems can be studied with measurement, while prospective systems are most often studied by extrapolating from measurements of prior systems or via simulation software that mimics target system function and provides performance metrics. Can one both minimize latency and maximize throughput for unscheduled work? Little’s Law.

It's time once again to update our priors regarding the global device and network situation. The usual caveats also apply: Performance is a deep and nuanced domain, and much can go wrong beyond content size and composition. How sites manage resources after-load can have a big impact on perceived performance.

Each HTTP request that is required for the page needs to travel over the network and in turn this consumes energy on both the server and client. Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user. It’s a win-win all round! Conclusion.

Site performance is potentially the most important metric. The better the performance, the better chance that users stay on a page, read content, make purchases, or just about whatever they need to do.
