Tips for Choosing the Right Performance-tracking Tool

Tips for Choosing the Right Performance-tracking Tool: "Recent studies show that on average, 20 percent of a page’s load time is spent on the back end as the server processes and generates HTML, while the remaining 80 percent is spent on the front end while the browser tries to load page assets and render the HTML. This rule applies to any size web site, whether it receives 100 or 1 million visitors a day. Keeping in mind this 20/80 rule, we at MySpace give as much attention to the front end behavior of our pages as our back-end systems."
