Performance terms
Every millisecond matters — here is how to win them back
Slow software costs money, loses users, and erodes trust. Performance engineering covers profiling, caching strategies, database query optimisation, network latency, memory management, and the architectural patterns that keep systems fast under real-world load. Most performance problems are invisible until they are not — these terms help you find and fix them before your users do.
HTTP/3 & QUIC
HTTP/3 runs over QUIC (UDP-based) instead of TCP — eliminating head-of-line blocking, reducing connection setup time, and improving performance on lossy networks.

HTTP Caching (ETags, Cache-Control)
Standard HTTP headers that instruct browsers and intermediary caches on how long to cache responses and when to revalidate.

HTTP/2 & HTTP/3
Modern HTTP protocol versions that deliver significant performance gains via multiplexing, header compression, and (HTTP/3) UDP transport.
