Based in the Paris area, the region will provide even lower latency and will allow users who want to store their content in datacenters in France to easily do so. Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in France! The new region in France will be ready for customers to use in 2017.

The OSI Model is like a layer cake of how data moves through networks. This means it specifically looks at the content of the data (like the writing inside our letters from the analogy) rather than just the envelope.So, what is the difference between a Firewall at the application level and network level?Network-level

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

Measuring your mobile UX has some added complexities: namely network speed and latency. Use a monitoring solution with network throttling so you can control for network and latency. Digiday compiled a list of the speediest sites in the game, as well as the low performers. Wondering how you stack up?

Because they lean on the system-provided WebView component, they do not need to pay the expense of a heavier app download to support rendering HTML, running JavaScript, decoding images, or loading network resources. The confusion that reliably results is the consequence of an inversion of the power relationship between app and website.

Customers with complex computational workloads such as tightly coupled, parallel processes, or with applications that are very sensitive to network performance, can now achieve the same high compute and networking performance provided by custom-built infrastructure while benefiting from the elasticity, flexibility and cost advantages of Amazon EC2.

For a busy page with lots of external resources (like perhaps a news website with loads of ads and trackers), there might be dozens of DNS lookups required per page. This enables the browser to get ahead of the game and do more work in parallel, decreasing the overall load time. When Should I Use dns-prefetch ?

So, if we created an overview of all the things we have to keep in mind when improving performance — from the very start of the project until the final release of the website — what would that look like? Networking, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 OCSP stapling, EV/DV certificates, packaging, IPv6, QUIC, HTTP/3. 300ms RTT, 1.6 Mbps down, 0.8

As well as AWS Regions, we also have 24 AWS Edge Network Locations in Europe. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2011, AWS opened a Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT). Congestion Control.

Typical use cases for a relational database include web and mobile applications, enterprise applications, and online gaming. Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!
