CDNs cache content on edge servers distributed globally, reducing the distance between users and the content they want.‍CDNs use load-balancing techniques to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers called Points of Presence (PoPs) which distribute content closer to end-users and improve overall performance.

When this data block is read, it decompresses it in memory and presents it to the incoming request. When data is written to disk, MongoDB compresses it with a specified block compression method and then writes it to disk. Block compression can improve performance by allowing data to be read and written in smaller chunks.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. Microbenchmark os::javaTimeMillis() on both systems.

It increases our visibility and enables us to draw a steady stream of organic (or “free”) traffic to our site. While paid marketing strategies like Google Ads play a part in our approach as well, enhancing our organic traffic remains a major priority. The higher our organic traffic, the more profitable we become as a company.

With the evolution of cloud technologies, such as Single Page Applications (SPAs), Web APIs, and Model View Controller (MVC), network latency has become a crucial factor to be monitored.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

A Primer on Speed. Discussing performance and “speed” can quickly get complex, because many underlying aspects contribute to a web-page loading “slowly”. Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Congestion Control.

This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for. This metric shows how much time it takes for the server to respond with something.
