Monitoring errors on the front-end requires a bit more work because front-end performance is highly dependant on the user’s hardware, software and connection. Of course, there are also times when the problem lies not with your application but with the user’s connection or network configuration.

The only time the Internet was mentioned was as a tool for communicating with one another without the need to chop down more trees, or for working without a commute. So, when people first started talking about the Internet having similar carbon emissions to the airline industry , I was a bit skeptical.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Of course not, but let's ignore that very few organizations in the world have the technological know-how to create such managed services, especially without low level control of the entire system. That's easy to do, right? So why bother innovating?

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons).

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).
