For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. While high-volume traffic often boosts sales, it can also compromise uptimes. Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. For organizations running their own on-premises infrastructure, these costs can be prohibitive.

Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Just because everything works perfectly during production testing doesn’t mean that will be the case when your website is flooded with traffic.

Synthetic monitoring vendors provide a remote (often global) infrastructure that visits a website periodically and records the performance data for each run. The measured traffic is not of your actual users; it is synthetically generated to collect data on page performance. Benchmark Against Competitors. Synthetic Monitoring.

This not only enhances performance but also enables you to make more efficient use of your hardware resources, potentially resulting in cost savings on infrastructure. This does not apply to read (SELECT) traffic. It is a good idea to run sysbench or another benchmark tool to determine your storage throughput.

Google has a pretty tight grip on the tech industry: it makes by far the most popular browser with the best DevTools, and the most popular search engine, which means that web developers spend most of their time in Chrome, most of their visitors are in Chrome, and a lot of their search traffic will be coming from Google. Why This Is a Problem.
