There are many ways of measuring your Core Web Vitals , but the definitive way — even if it’s not the best way, as we’ll see soon — is in Google Search Console (GSC). Running it through web performance tools like Lighthouse and WebPageTest showed that — even on slower network speeds. But hold up a minute.

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. Taking Action.

It's time once again to update our priors regarding the global device and network situation. 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. What's changed since last year? and 75KiB of JavaScript.

Website performance & speed plays a major role in the success of an online business. Many people often confuse site speed with page speed grades of performance testing tools, which are actually calculated based on multiple factors of a page including its loading speed. How to get these matrics right and not mess up?

Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). At my employer we sometimes use SR-IOV for direct network interface access, and NVMe for direct disk access. Outside of EC2, many other providers are deploying on KVM.
