Reading time 4 min It’s important for both technical and business teams to understand the different web performance monitoring options that are available as well as their various use cases and the benefits of each. This is valuable because it allows users to block out much of the noise that is reported with real user monitoring.

Redirects are often pretty light in terms of the latency that they add to a website, but they are an easy first thing to check, and they can generally be removed with little effort. I definitely have some assets that are doing nothing but wasting time and space.

It also opens up the possibility for more effective use of caching strategies, potentially enhancing load times further.

The Tech Hollow , an OSS technology we released a few years ago, has been best described as a total high-density near cache : Total : The entire dataset is cached on each node?—?there there is no eviction policy, and there are no cache misses. Near : the cache exists in RAM on any instance which requires access to the dataset.

When deciding what to pick, there are many things to consider, like where the proxy needs to be, if it “just” needs to redirect the connections, or if more features need to be in, like caching and filtering, or if it needs to be integrated with some MySQL embedded automation. Given that, there never was a single straight answer.

Monitoring , by textbook definition, is the process of collecting, analyzing, and using information to track a program’s progress toward reaching its objectives and to guide management decisions. Examples include a spike in memory utilization, a decrease in cache hit ratio, or an increase in CPU utilization.

For example, if a lookup fails and times out to your first DNS server it queries the next DNS server until the correct IP address is returned, or it is unable to resolve as seen in the infamous "This webpage is not available" error below. So DNS services definitely go down! Speed Speed also plays a role with DNS.

Normally this solution requires a full code redesign and could be quite difficult to achieve when it is injected after the initial code architecture definition. Best practices indicate that having ProxySQL closer to the application will be more efficient, especially if we decide to activate the caching feature. That is all we need.

Hence, the node would still be available for other operations. Cons of logical backups As it reads all data, it can be slow and will require disk reads too for databases that are larger than the RAM available for the WT cache—the WT cache pressure increases, which slows down the performance.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Modern network performance and availability. The fastest Androids predictably remain 18-24 months behind, owing to cheapskate choices about cache sizing by Qualcomm, Samsung Semi, and all the rest.

With 2 FMA units that have 5-cycle latency, the code must implement at least 2*5=10 independent accumulators in order to avoid stalls.

If our example document wasn’t reliant on JavaScript to construct the <my-app> custom element, the contents of the document would likely be interactive as soon as enough CSS and content was available to render meaningfully. Any DOM or UI created in JS is not available for use until the script runs. How long is too long?

This approach was touted to be better for fine-grained caching because each subresource could be cached individually and the full bundle didn’t need to be redownloaded if one of them changed. Finally, not inlining resources has an added latency cost because the file needs to be requested. Clients and QUIC Discovery.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. QUIC has a higher encryption overhead. Conclusion.
