Not all websites are the same. From personal blogs to business websites, online shops to community forums, SaaS applications to video streaming services, websites come in all shapes, sizes and flavours.

One of the biggest challenges in a self-provisioned, public cloud environment like Amazon Web Services (AWS) is finding the right balance between resources, performance, and cost. With no initial visibility into usage stats, AWS customers tend to overprovision compute, storage, and database resources to cushion sudden spikes in demand. If users could see resource usage, they'd be able to determine if the numbers provisioned are really in line with the application workload.
We all like fast sites, especially in 2018. But how can we determine if a website is snappy enough? Are there any response time standards that we can refer to? Do search engines prefer fast-loading sites as well? This article will answer those questions.
