What is the impact of resources that are larger than 860 bytes in Dynatrace?

In Dynatrace, resources that exceed 860 bytes are significant because they can indicate potential compression issues. When large resources are detected, it can raise concern regarding the efficiency of data transfer and the overall performance of a web application.

Typically, smaller resources are more manageable and often optimized for web delivery, while larger resources may not be compressed effectively or could be unnecessarily bulky, leading to longer load times for end-users. Therefore, identifying these larger resources can prompt developers and performance engineers to investigate and optimize them, ensuring that compression techniques such as Gzip or Brotli are applied appropriately to reduce payload size and improve application performance.

The identification of large resources ultimately serves as a diagnostic tool for performance tuning, helping to pinpoint areas where efficiency can be enhanced in the delivery of web content.
