If you've been working in the performance space for a while and you hear me start to talk about page growth, I'd forgive you if you started running away. ;). HTML – Typically the smallest resource on the page, HTML's performance risk is usually negligible. These numbers should not be taken as a benchmark for your own site.

The recently revealed [Meltdown and Spectre] bugs are not just extraordinary issues of security, but also performance. The patches that workaround Meltdown introduce the largest kernel performance regressions I've ever seen. Much of my testing was on Linux 4.14.11 and 4.14.12 a month ago, before we deployed in production.

Owing to the wide market range of Android apps, an average user has plenty of other alternatives and if we have to retain our existing customer base and attract new users, our apps have to perform without any snag. Unlike iOS development, Android development requires proper standards and varying benchmarks for performance and optimization.

HTML – Typically the smallest resource on the page, HTML's performance risk is usually negligible. JavaScript – A page can have a relatively low JS weight but still suffer from JS-inflicted performance problems. This is to try to understand how a "typical" page might perform, as well as pages in the "longtail".

As of the 1st of June SpeedCurve has switched to using faster testing agents at Amazon EC2 data centers. As web pages become more Javascript and resource heavy I've noticed more and more pages max out the CPU while performance testing. medium instances which have 3.75GB of RAM with faster CPU and network performance.

For e.g., if accessing file system over WebDAV or FTP has performance issues, and it will take 4 hours to fix, then for those 4 hours, you can just kill FTP/WebDAV at kong/firewall and ask customers to use web UI or other mechanisms to work. Who performs what roles? Do you have a standard API to your website?
