Last week I had the opportunity to present at a technical SEO conference about performance. I couldn’t let this injustice continue, so I told them to “Google for quokka selfies” Christi , who works on Bing, commented with a smile: “Or you could look it up on Bing.” But it kind of stuck in my head.

You may not think about it often, but the Internet uses a colossal amount of electricity. This, in turn, means that the Internet’s carbon footprint has grown to the point where it may have eclipsed global air travel , and this makes the Internet the largest coal-fired machine on Earth. Do we have a carousel of images?

I’d been using the Internet since about 1984, for email and newsgroups, sharing files like my white papers via ftp sites, but in the early 1990’s the world wide web came along, and Sun was a very early adopter. I also applied Six Sigma to capacity planning and presented this at a conference in 2003.

Google’s Core Web Vitals initiative was launched in May of 2020 and, since then, its role in Search has morphed and evolved as roll-outs have been made and feedback has been received. However, to this day, messaging from Google can seem somewhat unclear and, in places, even contradictory. Don’t have time to read 5,500+ words?

Most of us work on connections that are typically quite a bit faster than that of the average internet user. In the early days of the web when we were browsing the internet via a dialup connection, improving performance meant removing the images from your site.

You may have read some blog posts or heard conference talks on this topic and think you know the answers. It’s also one of the reasons we can keep using the Internet with many concurrent users, because it smartly limits each user’s bandwidth usage to their fair share.

DataCenter Failure : power outage or internet provider issues. For offsite backups (like S3, Google Cloud, etc.), Shlomi Noach told me at a previous Percona Live conference “you have not taken a backup until you have verified that backup.” Seven daily and four weekly logical backups locally on the backup server.

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. On the Internet, however, we typically have a long series of connected pipes , some of which can be wider than others (leading to so-called bottlenecks at the narrowest links).

But there’s that inner personal actual relationship required in the terms of safety that I’m talking about, as opposed to, yeah, someone anonymous on the internet or some anonymous entity trying to get your data, things like that. There’s also a bit of employers and employees more in the realm of surveillance. I had no idea.”

Google might have a Google Drive department, a Google Maps department, an AdWords department and so on. Then along came the internet, so they set up a completely new department to build and operate online services. Product-aligned Aligning by products confers high levels of autonomy to each department.

The internet accounts for an estimated 3–4% of global emissions — equivalent to some countries. The carbon emissions of the internet are roughly equivalent to those generated by the entire aviation industry, or the whole of Africa. Another great bit of advice from Asim’s talk from Smashing Conference was on branding.
