Benchmarking Cache Speed Memcached is optimized for high read and write loads, making it highly efficient for rapid data access in a basic key-value store. Redis’s support for pipelining in a Redis server can significantly reduce network latency by batching command executions, making it beneficial for write-heavy applications.

It's time once again to update our priors regarding the global device and network situation. seconds on the target device and network profile, consuming 120KiB of critical path resources to become interactive, only 8KiB of which is script. What's changed since last year? and 75KiB of JavaScript. These are generous targets.

This is sometimes referred to as using an “over-cloud” model that involves a centrally managed resource pool that spans all parts of a connected global network with internal connections between regional borders, such as two instances in IAD-ORD for NYC-JS webpage DNS routing. This also aids scalability down the line.

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.

The resource loading waterfall is a cascade of files downloaded from the network server to the client to load your website from start to finish. It essentially describes the lifetime of each file you download to load your page from the network. You can see this by opening your browser and looking in the Networking tab.

Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates. Speed is also something Google considers when ranking your website placement on mobile. Using a network request inspector, I’m going to see if there’s anything we can remove via the Network panel in DevTools.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. media="(min-width: 750px)"> <img srcset="img@mobile.png, img@mobile-2x.png 2x". Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial.
