Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates. Speed is also something Google considers when ranking your website placement on mobile. With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise.

Being static , it has the advantage that analysis results can be produced solely from source code without the need to execute the program. This means for example that it can be applied to analyse source code repositories and pull requests, be used as an additional test in CI pipelines, and even give assistance in your IDE if it’s fast enough.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. India's speed test medians are moving quickly, but variance is orders-of-magnitude wide, with 5G penetration below 25% in the most populous areas.

This weeks’ blog post covers a technique you can use to make all file operations on Windows run at one tenth their normal speed (or slower), in a way that will be untraceable for most users! When you own all of the code then this may involve some back of the envelope estimates, competitive benchmarking, or intuition tuned by experience.

On August 7, 2019, AMD finally unveiled their new 7nm EPYC 7002 Series of server processors, formerly code-named "Rome" at the AMD EPYC Horizon Event in San Francisco. AMD is definitely pushing the idea that a one-socket AMD Ryzen 7002 based server is a superior replacement for nearly any two-socket Intel-based server.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. For this page to be done loading it needs to be responsive to user input — the “interactive” in “Time to Interactive” Browsers process user input by generating DOM events that application code listens to. Execute the script. Global Ground-Truth.

Every front-end developer is chasing the same holy grail of performance: green scores in Google Page Speed. Real-life performance for your users and how the website “feels” when you’re using it should not be discounted, even if it costs you a point or two in Page Speed (otherwise, we would all just have a search bar and unstyled text).

When that data is used to train an AI system, that system can replicate our bad behavior with speed and scale. By definition, new AI technology is less mature. While there are many interesting and useful benchmark datasets for testing bias in natural language processing, none provided these types of exhaustive demographic labels.

SQL Server According to Bob

JANUARY 11, 2020

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. With the proper battery backup and algorithms, the hardware write cache can secure the data safely (on stable media) as well as increase the speed of an application like SQL Server by hiding much of the true physical I/O time.

Have we optimized enough with tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, progressive hydration, clients hints, HTTP/3, service workers and — oh my — edge workers? Note : If you use Page Speed Insights or Page Speed Insights API (no, it isn’t deprecated!),

Is it worth exploring tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, server push, clients hints, HTTP/2, service workers and — oh my — edge workers? It’s much easier to reach performance goals when the code base is fresh or is just being refactored.
