"La latence a un coût. Amazon a découvert que chaque 100ms de latence lui coûte 1% de ses ventes. Google a aussi remarqué que chaque .5 seconde de retard dans la génération des pages de résultats réduit son trafic de 20%. " Ouch! un peu de retard dans la livraison d'une page, et les utilisateurs sont déjà ailleurs, à cliquer sur un site qui répond vite et bien. C'est impressionnant. Comment faire pour éviter la latence? Accélérer le serveur ou le faire évoluer est évidemment la première idée, mais il y a d'autres stratégie : les traitements asynchrones, qui lancent une opération en tâche de fond, mais sont capables d'occuper l'utilisateur pendant ce temps, les architectures BASE et non plus ACID (où la vitesse de réaction a priorité sur la cohérence des résultats).

PageTest allows you to provide the URL of a webpage to be tested. The test will be conducted from the location specified and you will be provided a waterfall of your page load performance as well as a comparison against an optimization checklist.

damn't. Hardy Heron no longer maintains the good old XMMS ... and the new XMMS2 consume up to 40% of my multi-ghz cpu ...

Opsview is enterprise network and application monitoring software designed for scalability, flexibility and ease of use. Opsview has been in development since 2003 and is released under the GNU GPL license. Current version is 2.12. Opsview is a fully integrated monitoring tool that incorporates popular Open Source software including Nagios, Net-SNMP and RRDtool. The Catalyst web framework provides an extensible monitoring and configuration user interface. Opsview software is supported on Linux (Debian, CentOS, RHEL and Ubuntu) and Solaris 10. It will monitor all common operating systems including Windows. Opsview extends the capabilities of Nagios in the following ways: * Distributed monitoring with high availability and fail-over * Much improved SNMP support with trap processing with rules engine * API supporting automation of Opsview configuration * Data warehouse for storage of historical performance and event data * Opsview Reports customisable reporting * Powerful configuration and management UI * Extended monitoring UI * Extensible architecture based on Catalyst Web Framework and Altinity middleware software

Je vous avais rapidement parlé de pngcrush pour optimiser les images PNG, sans aucune perte de qualité. Stoyan Stefanov nous propose jpegtrans dans sa dernière présentation sur l’optimisation des images. Le principe est le même : un petit outil en ligne de commande qui optimise l’image sans aucune perte de qualité. Celui ci ne touche donc pas à la compression de l’image elle-même, mais retire toutes les méta-données embarquées dans le fichier.

VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Install Virtualbox 1.6 in Ubuntu

Semiconductor make moving image works which reveal our physical world in flux; cities in motion, shifting landscapes and systems in chaos. Since 1999 UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt have worked with digital animation to transcend the constraints of time, scale and natural forces; they explore the world beyond human experience, questioning our very existence.

Quand on pense à l’optimisation du temps de chargement d’un site, on pense généralement à améliorer le temps de génération des pages sur le serveur web. Hors, ce temps ne représente que 10 à 20% du temps de rendu de la page. Il existe en revanche des techniques directement applicables ayant un réel impact sur les performances. C’est pour expliquer ces différentes techniques que j’ai décidé de participer pour la troisième fois en tant que conférencier aux Intellicore Tech Talks. Comme je l’annonçais il y a quelques jours, j’ai fait cette présentation avec Nicolas Chevallier, ingénieur Polytech’Nice-Sophia, consultant Astek et créateur de Allogarage.fr.

User contributed tutorial written by Ramesh Natarajan. Following are few situations where you may be interested in performing a filesystem benchmarking. => Deploying a new application that is very read and write intensive. => Purchased a new storage system and would like to measure the performance. => Changing the RAID level and would like to measure the performance of the new RAID. => Changing the storage parameters and would like to know the performance impact of this change

The Jiffy Firefox Extension adds an additional panel to Firebug that provides a visual view of the Javascript time measurements captured by Jiffy-Web.

1.4.11 got a new module for streaming Flash movie files called mod_flv_streaming. This module allows you to seek in FLV files using the high performance infrastructure of lighttpd. The idea is simple and explained and implemented on ‘Streaming’ flv video via PHP, take two at http://www.flashcomguru.com/ But instead of streaming the file through PHP we do it in the webserver. The module expects a request for the URL which matches flv-streaming.extensions and can handle a ’?start=’ as part of the request. The information to pass into the ‘start’ parameter is extractly by the flash-player from the meta-data of the flv-files. The meta-data can be setup with flvtool2 Now I leave it to you to combine this with mod_secdownload to create a flv-streaming server for free with deep/hot linking protected movies. server.modules = ( ..., "mod_secdownload", ## optional "mod_flv_streaming", ... ) flv-streaming.extensions = ( ".flv" ) Take the flash-player from flashcomguru and adjust the URL in the player and try yourself.

To test and benchmark several common SMTP servers for Unix. This is inspired by the work done by Matthias Andree at his Postfix vs. qmail - Performance page. His information, while likely still highly relevant is based heavily around file system I/O and not overall performance of the MTA. Additionally, more MTAs and OSs will eventually be tested here.

In the first article of the PHP Performance Series, I focused on PHP Caching Techniques. This time I want to talk about maximizing your database. This article will deal mostly with MySQL, however, you should be able to note many of the different aspects even if you do not directly utilize MySQL.
