The new AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region will have three Availability Zones and be ready for customers for use in 2018. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. Over the past decade, we have seen tremendous growth at AWS.

They can run applications in Sweden, serve end users across the Nordics with lower latency, and leverage advanced technologies such as containers, serverless computing, and more. Vivino also uses Auto Scaling to deal with the large seasonal fluctuations in traffic. Telenor Connexion. Telenor Connexion is all-in on AWS.

The truth is that the two tools were fairly distinct until PSI was updated in 2018 to use Lighthouse reporting. INP is a measure of the latency for all interactions on a given page, where the highest latency — or close to it — informs the final score. It’s right there in the name!

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. CrUX data collection and first-party RUM analytics of these metrics require live traffic, meaning results can be predicted but only verified once deployed.

Charlie Vazac introduced server timing in a Performance Calendar post circa 2018. Latency – How much time does it take to deliver a packet from A to B. For example, processing of web application firewall (WAF) rules, detecting bots or other malicious traffic though security services, and growing in popularity, edge compute.

The stakes are even higher during high-traffic periods such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The impact of outages can be reduced by dispersing traffic across numerous CDNs, resulting in a more smooth user experience.Adopting an Active-Active policy is a critical component of a successful Multi-CDN approach.

Finally, not inlining resources has an added latency cost because the file needs to be requested. Note that there is an Apache Traffic Server implementation, though.). Traffic for one connection must, of course, always be routed to the same back-end server (the others wouldn’t know what to do with it!).

While this may not seem significant for websites with low traffic, as traffic to the site begins to increase, so does the amount of energy consumed. Without effective caching on the client, the server will see an increase in workload, more CPU usage and ultimately increased latency for the end user.

Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us. It simulates a link with a 400ms RTT and 400-600Kbps of throughput (plus latency variability and simulated packet loss).

For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. In 2018, the Alliance of Open Media has released a new promising video format called AV1.

For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. So additionally conducting research on common devices in your target group might be a good idea.
