Measured, not claimed

How fast it is, and how we know

Every number below names the conditions it was taken under. A benchmark without its method is a marketing figure wearing a lab coat.

Cold start
112 ms

p50 over 10,000 invocations, Frankfurt, empty cache.

Query throughput
24.6k/s

Single node, 4 vCPU, read-only workload.

Index rebuild
38 s

One million rows, measured wall-clock end to end.

Memory ceiling
512 MB

Peak RSS under the throughput run above.

Rendered live in your current theme — this is the same component whose source is below, not a screenshot of it.

/**
 * <StatsBenchmarkBand> — Performance figures with the measurement method printed beside each one, so a sceptical reader can check rather than take them.
 *
 * A stat band's layout problem is that the figure and its caveat compete
 * for the same slot. The obvious wrong answer is to drop the caveat: four
 * huge numbers read beautifully and mean nothing, because "112 ms" without
 * "p50, Frankfurt, empty cache" is not a measurement, it is a claim. So the
 * detail line is part of the tile rather than a footnote under the section,
 * and the tile is sized to hold two lines of it.
 *
 * The markup is a <dl>, and that is the non-obvious accessibility decision.
 * A grid of divs reads to a screen reader as four unrelated numbers in a
 * row; <dt>/<dd> pairs read as "Cold start, 112 ms", which is the only
 * useful way to hear this section. The detail sits in a <p> inside the same
 * <div> rather than in a second <dd>, because a definition list with two
 * values per term announces them as alternatives.
 *
 * `tabular-nums` on the value, so the four figures line up on their digits
 * rather than on their glyph widths — the column stops looking ragged the
 * moment one value has a 1 in it.
 *
 * The grid is `gap-px` over a `bg-border` parent rather than four bordered
 * cards. That produces true hairlines with no doubled edges at the seams,
 * and it collapses correctly at every breakpoint without a per-cell border
 * rule that has to know which column it is in.
 *
 * Server component. There is no state here at all, and the demo's numbers
 * are the defaults so the block renders identically in a preview, a
 * screenshot and someone's page before they replace them.

/**
 * A per-instance heading id, derived rather than generated.
 *
 * `React.useId()` is the textbook fix for a literal id in a reusable
 * component and is not available here: this block has no `'use client'`
 * and does not warrant one. It renders text, and a band that hydrates on
 * every page to render text is a cost with nothing on the other side of
 * it. Same call, and the same reasoning, as `footer-mega`.
 *
 * Hashing the heading *and* the intro is deliberate. Either alone works
 * until two callers happen to agree, which is exactly what a catalog hub
 * rendering every page into one document arranges for; between them they
 * are the two props nobody leaves at the default.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Nothing to install. No component library, no icon package.
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/stats-benchmark-band.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { StatsBenchmarkBand } from '@/components/stats-benchmark-band'

Customize

2 of this block’s props are simple enough to drive from here. Change them and the block below re-renders — it is the same component whose source is above, not a mock of it. Everything else it accepts is in the table underneath.

Props

Read out of the component’s own type and signature, so this cannot drift from the source below. Every prop has a default — the component renders standalone before you pass it anything.

Not using React?

The same block rendered once to markup, wrapped as a file your framework compiles. Tailwind classes are framework-agnostic, so the design transfers intact — the behaviour does not.

This block is interactive. The markup below is its initial state with the event handlers stripped — you will need to re-wire the behaviour in your framework.

stats-benchmark-band.html
<!--
  Benchmark Stat Band — markup from the Hoverlab catalog.

  This is the block rendered once to HTML and wrapped as a component
  file. It is not a port of the React source: the Tailwind classes carry
  the design, which is the part that took the work, and they are the same
  in every framework.

  This block is interactive in React and the handlers are NOT here.
  Buttons, toggles and menus render in their initial state and do
  nothing until you wire them up.

  • This is rendered HTML, not a translation of the React source. The Tailwind classes carry the design and work in any framework.
  • It is one frame: the component in its initial state, with no props applied beyond the defaults.
  • This block is interactive in React — toggles, menus or form state. None of that survives here; the markup is the closed/default state and the handlers are gone. Re-wire them in your own framework.
  • Requires Tailwind, and the design tokens the classes reference (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, and so on). The template ZIPs ship a globals.css that defines them.

What each framework gets across the whole catalog — effects convert properly; this rung is markup.

For AI

The component, its props, the design tokens it expects and the command that installs it — as one prompt. Paste it into Claude, Cursor, v0 or ChatGPT and what they build around it will match the rest of the catalog instead of inventing its own system.
