Why do we need Lighthouse at all when Google also offers similar reports in PageSpeed Insights (PSI)? CrUX data is important because it is how web core vitals are measured, which, in turn, are a ranking factor for Google’s search results. Still, there’s nothing in there to tell us about the data Lighthouse is using to evaluate metrics.

This is similar to the type of redirect used if you’ve registered multiple domains and you want to direct all of your traffic to your primary URL.

Due to the one-to-one relationship between a pod and a deployment, the mapping between traffic flows and pod a lot easier to manage. Similarly, conduit tap enables you to listen to a traffic stream (pod or deployment).

Late-loading JavaScript can cause “server-side rendered” pages to fail in infuriating ways.

It also works well to justify an acquisition of more servers to investors.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
