A video with large dimensions or a high bitrate will take longer to download and will require a higher speed network to play back smoothly. It’s of course doubtful that you will be able to achieve the same savings that I’ll be showing here, but you will get some useful pointers and tips on things to keep in mind when dealing with videos.

Looking at how people are using COUNT(*) and COUNT(col), it looks like most of them think they are synonyms and just use what they happen to like, while there is a substantial difference in performance and even query results. You might want to use columns that already have an index to speed up the query for huge tables.

I love conversations about performance, and I'm fortunate enough to have them a lot. I hope this post can serve that purpose and cover a few of the fundamental areas of web performance that I’ve found to be most useful while honing the craft of product management. How is performance measured? The audience varies.

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. Until and unless teams have better data about their performance, the global baseline budget should be enforced.

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. Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates.

Nobody is trying to do a poor job, and yet the results of a “completed” PWA project often require weeks or months of painstaking rework to deliver minimally acceptable performance. Partner meetings are illuminating.
