These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

Data collected on page load events, for example, can include navigation start (when performance begins to be measured), request start (right before the user makes a request from the server), and speed index metrics (measure page load speed). In some cases, you will lack benchmarking capabilities. RUM generates a lot of data.

Instead, focus on understanding what the workloads exercise to help us determine how to best use them to aid our performance assessment. For the network, we can use Iperf to assess the network bandwidth between the client and the database server to ensure it will be enough to meet our peak requirement. Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates. With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. That serves jQuery significantly faster than a standard request from my server, that’s for sure.
