Two weeks ago I watched on YouTube a presentation about how important diagrams are. I guess everyone agrees with the title of this presentation that diagrams deliver much more information that text.

Business requires fast software delivery. This sometimes leads to a situation in which developers are focused less on performance and more on business requirements. The problem is that badly designed architecture can unable to fix performance in the future. Many times I have explained that page with a total weight of about 2 MB is too large. I have explained that server side has a limited bandwidth. For 1Gb/s connection speed at server side you can handle about 50 concurrent users in the same time to show them full content in 1 second. I also tell my colleagues that we have to reduce number of requests. Each request not only consumes browser connection pool limit, but also server resources. When clients are located far from our server, pages can load very slowly. When I was on Galapagos I realized (again) how slow can a network connection be and how important wise web design is.
