Monitor Website Response Time with cURL

Discover how to measure your website's response time using the curl command, and how it can help you increase traffic and performance of your webpage. Understanding Server Response Time Server response time, also known as Time to First Byte (TTFB), is the time it takes for the server to process a web request and send the first byte back to the user. Think of it as the pause before your web pages…

Website response time is a key metric when it comes to assessing overall performance and user experience. Measuring this time can reveal performance bottlenecks, enhance user satisfaction, and improve search engine visibility. cURL, a standard utility in MacOS and Linux, serves as a handy tool for calculating response time. To execute this, the command "curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{time_starttransfer} https://www.enstai.fi/" is used.

This command quantifies the duration it takes for the web page at https://www.enstai.fi/ to generate a response. This response time is expressed in seconds. A real-world application of this can be seen when executing the command on the enstai.fi site, which yields a response time of 0.152016 seconds. According to Google's standards, a response time below 0.2 seconds (200 milliseconds) is considered optimal.

The superior response time of enstai.fi exemplifies the importance of swift webpage delivery in today's digital landscape.

How to build a tiny 1.5B text-to-SQL model that beats a 7B

I wanted to build something with an LLM using my own hands. Not wire an API into a wrapper, but take a base model, train it, measure it, break it, and serve it over HTTP. Why?

  • Author builds tiny 1.5B text-to-SQL model to outperform 7B model
  • Model achieves 44.6% accuracy with held-out evaluation, 49.7% with RL reward
  • 1.5B model still inferior to 7B but answers queries eight times to vote on most common result
