Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

You can dig deeper into the mechanics of how it's calculated, but the human-friendly definition is that CLS helps you understand how likely a page is to deliver a janky, unpleasant experience to viewers. Here are the current US media benchmarks on a fast desktop connection , ranked by CLS score. It's definitely worth a read.).

Every front-end developer is chasing the same holy grail of performance: green scores in Google Page Speed. Real-life performance for your users and how the website “feels” when you’re using it should not be discounted, even if it costs you a point or two in Page Speed (otherwise, we would all just have a search bar and unstyled text).

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. Global Ground-Truth.

They demonstrated that neural nets based learned index outperforms cache-optimized B-Tree index by up to 70% in speed while saving an order-of-magnitude in memory. The benchmarking was performed using 3 real-world data sets (weblogs, maps, and web-documents), and 1 synthetic dataset (lognormal). Learned Bloom filters. What's next.

To add elasticity, reliability and durability, these data centers are connected to Google Cloud platform using high speed, secure Google Interconnect network. As events are immutable we were caching them in Memcache for 12 hours but even them downloading the same events so many times from Memcache was causing network issues.

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. With the proper battery backup and algorithms, the hardware write cache can secure the data safely (on stable media) as well as increase the speed of an application like SQL Server by hiding much of the true physical I/O time.
