How does Google manage to serve results so fast?
- by Quintin Par
I am building an autocomplete functionality for my site and the Google instant results are my benchmark.
When I look at Google, the 50-60 ms response time baffle me.
They look insane. In comparison here’s how mine looks like.
To give you an idea my results are cached on the load balancer and served from a machine that has httpd slowstart and initcwnd fixed. My site is also behind cloudflare
From a server side perspective I don’t think I can do anything more.
Can someone help me take this 500 ms response time to 60ms? What more should I be doing to achieve Google level performance?
