How to Test Performance of gRPC
Software interfaces were invented to integrate applications. They work as a kind of port through which you can connect to third-party software and interact with it, for example, send a request to a database and get a response. To make the interface usable for other software, there have to be some rules—what requests can be […]
How Does Website Speed Impacts Conversion Rates?
A mere 3-second delay in website loading can cause 53% of visitors to leave. Slow-loading sites cost retail businesses a staggering $2.6 billion yearly. Even a tiny 100ms delay can slash revenue by 1%. But it’s not just speed—browser choice matters too, with Google Chrome outperforming Microsoft Edge. Key metrics like bounce rate and conversion rate are vital for assessment. To enhance website speed, implement strategies like caching, compression, CDNs, optimize images and assets, and reduce server response times.
