Last time out we saw how Google have been able to save millions of dollars though memory compression enabled via zswap. Looking across a set of eight Java benchmarks, we find that only two of them are array dominated, the rest having between 40% to 75% of the heap footprint allocated to objects, the vast majority of which are small.

They can also highlight very long redirection chains in your third-party traffic. The most popular, by far, is the Google Lighthouse report (available in Chrome Developer Tools) and Google’s Page Speed Insights. They are more of a benchmark than a true measurement of real user experience. Large preview ).

Google recommends that TTFB be 800ms at the 75th percentile. Looking at the industry benchmarks for US retailers , four well-known sites have backend times that are approaching – or well beyond – that threshold. For more years than I care to mention, I've been advising folks that their TTFB should be under 500ms.

Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Just because everything works perfectly during production testing doesn’t mean that will be the case when your website is flooded with traffic.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow.

Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. Today, either method returns a similar answer.
