Examples of Scalability metrics and KPIs

Metrics for Measuring Image Performance

  • 1. Latency

    The time taken for the image to load from the server to the user's end

    What good looks like for this metric: Typical benchmark value is under 100ms

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Optimize image sizes
    • Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
    • Implement lazy loading
    • Enable browser caching
    • Minimize HTTP requests

  • 2. Cost Per Image Delivered

    The total cost incurred for delivering each image to the user

    What good looks like for this metric: A typical benchmark is under $0.01 per image

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Choose cost-effective hosting solutions
    • Compress images to reduce size
    • Utilise efficient caching strategies
    • Optimise server infrastructure
    • Leverage cost-effective CDNs

  • 3. Image Load Time

    The amount of time it takes for an image to be fully accessible on a user's screen

    What good looks like for this metric: An ideal benchmark is under 2 seconds

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Reduce image dimensions
    • Utilise responsive images
    • Implement file format that loads faster
    • Use asynchronous loading
    • Optimise server response times

  • 4. Scalability

    The ability to handle increasing load of image delivery without performance degradation

    What good looks like for this metric: Should smoothly handle a 100% increase in traffic

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Implement auto-scaling infrastructure
    • Utilise robust load balancing solutions
    • Optimise image storage options
    • Conduct regular stress testing
    • Use scalable databases

  • 5. User Satisfaction

    Measures how satisfied users are with image load times and quality

    What good looks like for this metric: Typical satisfaction rate above 80%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Conduct user feedback surveys
    • Analyse user interaction data
    • Regularly update images for relevance
    • Ensure high-resolution options as needed
    • Implement faster image formats
