For vertical scaling, Memcached allows augmenting existing servers with additional CPU cores and memory, thereby enhancing the capacity of the caching pool to manage higher traffic volumes and larger data loads.

The fundamental principles at play include evenly distributing the workload among servers for better application performance and redirecting client requests to nearby servers to reduce latency. All of these examples represent workloads at various levels of detail and business value. What is meant by the workload in computers?

Devices and networks have evolved too: Alex Russell @slightlylate An update on mobile CPUs and the Performance Inequality Gap: Mid-tier Android devices (~$300) now get the single-core performance of a 2014 iPhone and the multi-core perf of a 2015 iPhone. Updated Geekbench 4 single-core scores for each mobile price-point.">.

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.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Run performance experiments and measure outcomes — both on mobile and on desktop (for example, with Google Analytics ). On mobile, per session, users who experienced fast load times bring 17% more revenue than average. Explore how improving performance can help relieve some of these common problems. Large preview ).
