A 14kb page can load much faster than a 15kb page (2022)

Why your website should be under 14kB in size Why your website should be under 14kB in size Having a smaller website makes it load faster — that's not surprising. What is surprising is that a 14kB page can load much faster than a 15kB page — maybe 612ms faster — while the difference between a 15kB and a 16kB page is trivial. This is because of the TCP slow start algorithm. This article will cover what that is, how it works, and why you should care. But first we'll quickly go over some of the

TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

news.ycombinator.com Matthieu Baerts 2025-07-19 12:59:08

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect

Implementing fast TCP fingerprinting with eBPF

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-23 00:59:26

In this article I want to document my journey implementing fast TCP fingerprinting in a golang webserver, using eBPF. Just to provide some background, TCP fingerprinting is one of the many techniques that can be used to detect unusual or identifying informations about a web request when implementing an anti-bot solution. This has been a hot topic lately, caused by the rising need to scrape the internet for human content to feeed to the LLMs. Implementing such a system offers interesting techn

Record DDoS pummels site with once-unimaginable 7.3Tbps of junk traffic

Large-scale attacks designed to bring down Internet services by sending them more traffic than they can process keep getting bigger, with the largest one yet, measured at 7.3 terabits per second, being reported Friday by Internet security and performance provider Cloudflare. The 7.3Tbps attack amounted to 37.4 terabytes of junk traffic that hit the target in just 45 seconds. That's an almost incomprehensible amount of data, equivalent to more than 9,300 full-length HD movies or 7,500 hours of H

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-04 04:57:09

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot The biggest challenge I faced in developing Little Brats! was the online multiplayer part: synchronizing computers with sometimes consequent latency while maintaining the “fast-paced action game” aspect was far from simple. I'll tell you all about it! Lag compensation, prediction/reconciliation, etc. I'm not going to do a detailed tutorial on these points, as there are tons of them already, but to give you an idea of the principle: when a client computer pe
