This document discusses using <IFRAME> tags to improve the performance of third party scripts. It describes how third party scripts normally block page loading and proposes using an iframe to load scripts asynchronously in parallel without blocking. It provides code for creating an iframe targeted to load scripts, handling cross-domain issues, and modifying the Method Queue Pattern to support iframes. The approach allows third party scripts to load without blocking the main page load.

The document discusses Boomerang, an open source tool for measuring real user performance on websites. It measures load times, bandwidth usage, latency and other metrics. Additional functionality can be added through plugins. The presentation encourages developers to use Boomerang to analyze user behavior, identify performance issues, and continuously improve sites based on real user data. It provides several examples of insights that can be gained, such as how performance varies by country, browser, and internet connection speed.

The document is a presentation about abusing JavaScript to measure web performance. It discusses using JavaScript to measure network latency, TCP handshake time, network throughput, DNS lookup time, IPv6 support and latency, and other performance metrics. It provides code examples for measuring each metric in JavaScript and notes challenges to consider. The presentation encourages the use of the open source Boomerang library for accurate performance measurement.

If you're interested in measuring real user web performance, you'll find tools like boomerang or episodes quite handy. Some popular web frameworks even have modules that make it easy to add them to your site. However, what does one do once one has collected the data? How do you filter out the noise and get meaningful insights from the data? In this talk, I'll go over the techniques we've picked up by analyzing millions of datapoints daily. I'll cover some simple rules to filter out invalid data, and the statistics to analyze and make sense of what's left. Do you use the mean, median or mode? What about the geometric mean and standard deviation? How confident are we in the results? And finally, why should we care? This talk should help you gain useful insights from a histogram, or at the very least point you in the right direction for further analysis.

While building boomerang, we developed many interesting methods to measure network performance characteristics using JavaScript running in the browser. While the W3C's NavigationTiming API provides access to many performance metrics, there's far more you can get at with some creative tweaking and analysis of how the browser reacts to certain requests. In this talk, I'll go into the details of how boomerang works to measure network throughput, latency, TCP connect time, DNS time and IPv6 connectivity. I'll also touch upon some of the other performance related browser APIs we use to gather useful information. I will NOT be covering the W3C Navigation Timing API since that's been covered by Alois Reitbauer in a previous Boston Web Perf talk.

The document discusses analyzing real user monitoring (RUM) data to gain insights into website performance and user behavior. It describes building plugins to collect navigation and timing data from browsers. Various statistical techniques for analyzing the data are covered, including log-normal distributions, filtering outliers, sampling, and correlating metrics like page load time and bounce rates. The analysis of an example 8 million page dataset suggests very fast or slow page loads are associated with higher bounce rates, and thresholds for user-unfriendly performance are proposed based on bounce rates exceeding 50%.

This document contains slides from a presentation about using JavaScript to analyze network performance. It discusses how to measure latency, TCP handshake time, network throughput, DNS lookup time, IPv6 support and latency, and private network scanning using JavaScript. Code examples are provided for measuring each of these network metrics by making image requests and timing the responses. The presentation emphasizes that accurately measuring network throughput requires requesting resources of different sizes and accounting for TCP slow start. It also notes some challenges around caching and geo-located DNS results.

This document is a presentation about analyzing web traffic using Node.js modules. It introduces Node.js and the npm package manager. It then discusses modules for parsing HTTP logs, including parsing user agents, handling IP addresses, geolocation, and date formatting. It also covers modules for statistical analysis like fast-stats, gauss, and statsd. The presentation provides code examples for using these modules and takes questions at the end.

The document discusses input validation and output encoding to prevent vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL injection. It provides examples of how unexpected input can enable attacks, like special characters or invalid data types being passed to endpoints and rendered unencoded. The key lessons are that input validation is needed to receive clean, expected data, while output encoding is crucial to prevent exploits when displaying data to users. Both techniques are important defenses that address different but related issues.

This document discusses using JavaScript to analyze network performance. It covers measuring latency, TCP handshake time, DNS lookup time, network throughput, and IPv6 support. The document provides code examples for measuring each of these metrics using JavaScript and analyzing image load times. It notes that network conditions vary and accurate measurements require statistical analysis over many samples.

This document discusses how the Boomerang tool works to measure website performance from the end user's perspective. Boomerang is a piece of JavaScript code that measures network latency and throughput to the website, as well as page load time, and sends this performance data back to the website owners. It provides more accurate real-world performance metrics than lab testing by measuring performance across varying user devices, browsers, networks and other conditions that are outside the owners' control.

This document discusses Boomerang, a JavaScript tool that measures web page performance from the end user's perspective. It works by including a small snippet of JavaScript on web pages that measures load time, latency, and bandwidth and sends the results back to the server. It provides more accurate real-world performance metrics than lab testing alone. The document explains how Boomerang specifically measures latency by downloading small images repeatedly, bandwidth by progressively larger images, and load time using timestamps. Contributing code or plugins to the Boomerang open source project on GitHub can help improve it.

This document summarizes a presentation about using Boomerang, a JavaScript tool, to measure web page performance from the end user's perspective. Boomerang measures latency, bandwidth, and page load time by making requests to the site from code included on pages and sending the results to a beacon URL. It aims to provide accurate, real-world performance metrics that account for the many variables experienced by users, unlike lab testing. The document discusses how Boomerang technically measures these metrics and explains guidelines for including Boomerang code on pages to collect performance data.

The document discusses boomerang, a JavaScript tool for measuring web page performance from the end user's perspective. It works by measuring latency, bandwidth, and page load times and sending that data back to the developer. The collected data can be analyzed to identify outliers, trends over time, and opportunities for performance improvements based on factors like user location and ISP.

This document discusses using Boomerang, a JavaScript tool, to measure web performance from the user's perspective. Boomerang measures latency, bandwidth, and page load times by making requests to the server from the user's browser. It collects and analyzes the data to identify outliers, group results based on connection speed, and correlate performance with code changes. The tool provides insight into where to optimize and where to locate content delivery networks for better performance.

The document discusses measuring web performance from the end user's perspective using JavaScript. It notes that most web slowness comes from the front-end, which developers can't control due to browser, plugin, OS and other variations. To get accurate measurements, performance must be measured directly from the user's device using JavaScript, which is ubiquitous. The talk will discuss Boomerang, a JavaScript tool that measures page load performance and sends anonymized data back to developers for analysis.

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
