In this chapter, we have defined what the Faster Web is, why it is important, how it distinguishes itself from pure speed performance and how to install, configure and use benchmark testing and profiling tools in order to measure it.
In the next chapter, we will discover automatic profiling with Blackfire.io. Also, we will learn about monitoring by installing and configuring a TICK stack with Grafana on a fictitious production server that will be deployed as another Docker container.
