My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

I vividly remember receiving a PC Magazine for my birthday with a trial of Dreamweaver. Twitch developer documentation hosted on AWS, edited on CloudCannon. Smashing Magazine powered by Netlify. Netlify , Vercel , CloudFlare , and AWS all have the concept of serverless functions run at edge nodes of a CDN. Government.

While dynamic serving provides simplicity in implementation, it imposes significant time costs due to the computational resources required to generate the pages and the latency involved in serving these pages to users at distant locations. The shorter the TTFB, the better the perceived speed of the site from the user’s perspective.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Brotli is widely supported, and many CDNs support it ( Akamai , AWS , KeyCDN , Fastly , Cloudlare , CDN77 ) and you can enable Brotli even on CDNs that don’t support it yet (with a service worker).
