The growing requirements of delivering dynamic transactions and interactive content must be matched with an increased ability to scale under high traffic load and perform reliably to meet increased consumer demand. Organizations competing for customers measure their success based not on seconds, but on milliseconds. Research has shown that users will visit a website less often if it is slower than a close competitor by more than 250 milliseconds. The difference between a two second load time and a one second load time can mean the difference between a user conversion, and a lost opportunity. In short, organizations seeking the maximum speed and offload must continue to further refine and optimize website performance.
