Weber–Fechner law just noticeable difference (jnd) For time lengths of
up to 30s - jnd is somewhere between 7% and 18%
Weber–Fechner law Faster Slower
Weber–Fechner law 20s Faster Slower
Weber–Fechner law 20s 24s 16s -20% +20% Faster Slower
“Slightly” faster
Perception of average between t1 and t2 is: sqrt(t1*t2)
Example
Benchmark against 30s 60s less than 36s less than 42s
less than 24s slow same slightly slower faster
Benchmark against 30s 60s less than 36s less than 42s
less than 24s slow same slightly slower faster
Benchmark against 30s 60s less than 36s less than 42s
less than 24s slow same slightly slower faster
Benchmark against 30s 60s less than 36s less than 42s
less than 24s slow same slightly slower definitely faster

Fun facts! Min time to pass 1/2 of globe: 67ms
Later ;) Server generates response
Let’s talk a bit about that Page rendering in a
browser
In a complex projects 60% of time could be easily
spent on rendering
There’s space to optimise
There’s space to optimise
There’s space to optimise
Time budget: Load and render critical parts first
What Is “OK” Response?
It depends
In general case response longer than 300ms means nobody cares
In general case response longer than 300ms means nobody cares
Usually it’s more than 1 second on a client
It should be fast
It should be fast Bad requirement
It should be faster than 300ms

Long tail
95% < 300ms 99% < 500ms
95% < 300ms 99% < 500ms
95% < 300ms 99% < 500ms OK requirement
95% < 300ms 99% < 500ms OK requirement But still
depends
Remember about 20% difference!
Remember to measure competitors!
Oof… Done with time!
Oof… Done with time! There are 1 more to go
What Is “OK” Load?
What measurement units to use?
What is “average user”?
“Average human” have less than 1 arm
Requests Per Second (RPS) is what server understands
How much RPS we should be able to handle?
