Railgun in the real world: faster web page load times

This post details real-world performance tests of Cloudflare's Railgun technology, a delta compression technique for accelerating dynamic content delivery. It presents median improvements in HTML delivery speed (1.43x), compression ratio (0.65%), Time To First Byte (90% of non-Railgun value), and overall page load time (89% of non-Railgun time) across 51 Vexxhost websites. The analysis includes comparisons with estimations and highlights the impact of Railgun on pages with large initial HTML payloads and geographically distant users.
