Similar to our article Average Page Load Times for 2018 , we’ll go over the averages for metrics and help you determine if your site is faster or slower than average. As you know, there are many metrics that determine a website’s page speed, and we can’t look at just one of them to determine how performant our site is.

Most publications have simply reported the benchmark improvement claims, but if you stop to think about them, the numbers dont make sense based on a simplistic view of the technology changes. So first thing to understand is that the benchmark skips a generation and compares product that differs over about a two year interval.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) was founded to bring standards to database benchmarking, and the history of the TPC can be found here.

The scale of the effect can be deeply situational or hard to suss out without solid metrics. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The Moto G4 , for example. Today, either method returns a similar answer.

However, that pesky 20% on the back end can have a big impact on downstream metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and any other 'loading' metric you can think of. Caching the base page/HTML is common, and it should have a positive impact on backend times. But what happens when it doesn't?
