103 Early Hints is now GA and is fully supported in Ion, DSA, AAP and KSD. If you have personalized, dynamic, volatile and or long tail content, Akamai's implementation of 103 Early Hints is an effective way to improve performance. The production version of 103 Early Hints not only removes the limitations of the prototype, but also makes implementation easier without compromising flexibility for developers.

The highly distributed nature of the Akamai Connected Cloud is a gift when you care about performance. Last week I added another replica of my app+data at the Edge. A simple config change in Terraform and the results speak for themselves. #edge #cloud #performance

The Speculation Rules API talk (by Barry Pollard) was my highlight of #GoogleIO and a must see if you care about #performance and #CWV. Impressive production results from several Akamai Technologies customers can be seen as well as references to our TechDocs.

Meet UNO, the missing link in any TTFB analysis. Without Unattributed Navigation Overhead (UNO) you are lost, because TTFB is rarely the sum of Redirect+DNS+TCP+TLS in the field! Understanding UNO has saved me countless hours in RUM and I am proud my suggestion made it into mPulse. #webperf #ttfb #mpulse

Akamai Tuning Tip: DNS Asynchronous Refresh avoids TTFB degradation due to DNS lookups between the Edge and the Origin. This feature is enabled by default for new properties, but may not be enabled for older properties.

I was about to deploy some performance improvements. Luckily I spotted that Chrome/124 started rolling out Never deploy the same day as Chrome to keep your RUM analysis clean and honest. #webperf
