Reading/Web/Lazy loading of images on Japanese Wikipedia

On Tuesday 5th July lazy loaded images was enabled on Japanese Wikipedia for all users. The immediate impact we noticed is that images served to users on 日本 (Japan) dropped from 1.443 MB to 142 kB.

Bytes saved
The bytes saved varies per article. Articles with more images obviously will be reduced more. We can analyze bytes saved by looking at raw access logs and looking at images with an internal referrer. We can also look at specific pages to gauge impact.

Analysis of weeks worth of data
A database dump of the EventLogging data for Japanese Wikipedia was taken from the period 1st June to 12th July. Data 10 days before and after the change was compared and sample size was not normalized. Given the change was deployed on 5th July at 4:47pm PST the following query was used. select * from NavigationTiming_15485142 where wiki = 'jawiki' and event_mobileMode = 'stable' and event_action ='view' and timestamp > 20160625004700 and timestamp < 20160715004700 This SQL query gave a sample of x rows of data. With the result of the following query, using a Python script the following command was run python navtimingcsv.py jawiki.tsv 20160705004700 10

Analysis of 30 days of data
A database dump of the EventLogging data for Japanese Wikipedia was taken from the period 5th June to 4th August. Data 10 days before and after the change was compared. Given the change was deployed on 5th July at 4:47pm PST the following query was used. select * from NavigationTiming_15485142 where wiki = 'jawiki' and event_mobileMode = 'stable' and event_action ='view' and timestamp > 20160601004700 and timestamp < 20160804004700

Week against week comparisons and longterm data transfer graph
Rollout of lazy loaded images on ja.m.wikipedia.org suggests a nontrivial speed improvement in page fully loaded time (initial lag excluded) and a significant reduction in image bytes shipped per pageview, leading to lighter weight pages.

Note well that the x-axis in the speed graphs is presented in log2n increments.

To reduce noise, navigation timing events are filtered to ensure key fields are present, with an emphasis on anonymous, non-redirected, plain article pageviews. Logged in pageviews for the NavigationTiming queried window comprised only 0.117% of the pageviews in the set and are not used in the NavigationTiming derived calculations.

To simplify analysis for bytes shipped calculations, eligible source HTML pages are constrained as to a relative path   (on language variant wikis this path would be different, but that's out of scope here) for a given wiki without a colon ":" character in the remainder of the path, with a restriction that responses must be HTTP 200s, in order to avoid overcounting of 30x, 40x, or other such spurious responses. This aids in narrowing down the analysis to requests likely to be plain article pageviews. Image bytes are constrained to those served from upload.wikimedia.org with an eligible Referer for the same restriction as page paths.

Changes introduced to support lazy loaded images required modified (slightly increased) JavaScript/CSS/HTML.

jawiki page load speed
Based on weeks just before and just after the transition to lazy loaded images, pages with lazy loaded images loaded faster at the 10th, 50th (median), and 90th percentiles on both HTTP1 and HTTP2. A basic Kolomogorov-Smirnov statistical significance test suggested that the pre- and post-change cohort speed differences were statistically significant.

The following table is based on anonymous pageviews using the query below.

jawiki data transfer
Based on examination of two 7-day periods (24-30 June 2016 vs 8-14 July 2016),  image bytes per pageview were reduced by about 51.37% . This contributed to a decrease of about 9.18% bytes shipped for the modified JavaScript/CSS/HTML plus images as compared to the baseline JavaScript/CSS/HTML and images.

The following graph shows the general trends of images bytes shipped per in-scope pageview, as well in-scope pageviews, core HTML/CSS/JavaScript bytes, and the sum of core HTML/CSS/JavaScript bytes plus image bytes per pageview.

Queries
The following query was used to derive the lag-excluded load time, roughLoadTimeInitialLagExcluded. Note this query also captured data on tlwiki, although the scope of the analysis on this page is jawiki mobile

The following queries were used to derive image bytes transferred using the constraints described above, as well as to support the longer term graph with trend lines.

The raw data received were as follows:

The following queries were used to derive pageviews using the constraints above, as well as to support the longer term graph with trend lines. Practically all matching records were qualified as pageviews, largely ruling out the possibility of image byte transfer counts with proper Referer values being derived from anything other than qualified pageviews.

The raw data received were as follows. Note that the low count "text/html" and "-" content types, as well as the non-pageview records are not used in the calculations on this page. These were included in this query to gauge the magnitude of their potential effect. It would appear their effect was minimal.

As with any data spanning time series and the myriad complexities involved with different devices and environments, data are subject to fluctuation. However, the data transfer savings are unambiguous, and the large event sampling pool lends a degree of confidence that pages are actually loading faster.

Statistical significance

The Kolomogorov-Smirnov test suggests the differences in the distributions for lazy loaded compared to non-lazy loaded image based page load times for each of HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 are material and we can reject the null hypothesis.

from scipy.stats import ks_2samp

with open('h1_conventional.txt') as f:	a = [int(i) for i in f.readlines]
 * 1) h1_conventional.txt contains 24-30 June 2016 HTTP/1 convetional loading rough load times

with open('h1_lazy.txt') as f:	b = [int(i) for i in f.readlines]
 * 1) h1_lazy.txt contains 8-14 July 2016 HTTP/2 lazy loading rough load times

len(a) 15517 len(b) 15898

ks_2samp(a,b) (0.037166639427270387, 7.1355334748281838e-10)


 * 1) result is ks statistic, p-value. Null hypothesis rejected.

with open('h2_conventional.txt') as f:	c = [int(i) for i in f.readlines]

with open('h2_lazy.txt') as f:	d = [int(i) for i in f.readlines]

len(c) 53735 len(d) 55437

ks_2samp(c,d) (0.020979426651792699, 7.149451368361895e-11)


 * 1) result is ks statistic, p-value. Null hypothesis rejected.

Page views
To rule out bytes saved being due to a drop in page views, we checked the traffic to mobile site, in ja.wikipedia (i.e., ja.m.wikipedia.org) in the months of June and July. In June the user traffic was 585 millions and in July 587 millions. (normalized for a 30-day month). The two months are pretty much the same in terms of traffic for practical purposes so we concluded that the savings in bytes was not likely due to a macro change in traffic.
