27 Mar 2009The next generation of browser all tout that they are able to more effectively deliver on the concept of cloud computing and Web applications. That may be the case, but it changes the entire world of Web performance measurement and monitoring.
The Web performance focus for most firms is simple: How quickly can code/text/images/flash can be [...]

In: Uncategorized
8 Dec 2008In the first three parts of this series, the focus has been on the business side of the business: Customer Generation, Customer Retention, and Business Operations. The final component of any discussion of why companies measure their Web performance falls down to Technical Operations.
Why is Technical Operations last?
This part of the conversation is the last, [...]

Introduction to the Series

GrabPERF: FiOS and BitTorrent – Don’t Play Nice
13 Nov 2008I fired up the Boston FIoS measurement location today after a couple of days off, and found that suddenly FIoS doesn’t like the BitTorrent.

Problem-solving and diagnosis requires a far deeper dive than the flashiest interface could ever provide, because it comes down to the numbers. The actual measurements that make up the flashy chart. [...]
David Cancel and I have had sort of a passing vague, same space and thought process, living in the same Metropolitan area kind of distant acquaintance for about the same year.
About 2-3 months ago, he wrote a pair of articles discussing the efforts he has undertaken in order to try and offload some of the [...]
Thoughts on Web Performance at the Browser
In: Browsers| Technology| The Web| Web Performance| WebPerformance.Org| Work
9 Sep 2008Last week, lost in the preternatural shriek that emerged from the Web community around the release of Google Chrome, John Resig posted a thoughtful post on resources usage at the browser.
