# Lightning Console Technical Requirements

Review these recommended technical requirements to get the best performance out of your console implementation.

Lightning console technical requirements are mostly the same as the general Lightning technical requirements. Lightning console implementations are especially affected by available RAM and virtual desktop infrastructure.

The amount of RAM available has a significant impact on browser tab longevity. Having enough RAM available also helps prevent crashes. Insufficient RAM can also negatively impact page load times with older browsers.

For the fastest and most stable experience, we recommend:

- An Octane 2.0 score of 30,000 or greater
- Network latency of 150 ms or less
- Download speed of 3 Mbps or greater
- At least 8 GB of RAM, with 3 GB available for Salesforce browser tabs

Minimum requirements are:

- An Octane 2.0 score of 20,000 or greater
- Network latency of 200 ms or less
- Download speed of 1 Mbps or greater
- At least 5 GB of RAM, with 2 GB available for Salesforce browser tabs

Based on our lab tests, the minimum requirements result in 50% slower page load times and login load times versus the recommended specifications. Users that use over 1,000 records a day are more likely to have their browser tab crash when using the minimum requirements due to memory limits.

You can find your Octane 2.0 score, latency, and download speed by running the Salesforce Performance test. To run the test, append `speedtest.jsp` to your org’s domain.

```
https://MyDomainName.lightning.force.com/speedtest.jsp
```

We recommend running this test on the same hardware, network, physical location, and browser as your users. For virtual environments, such as VDI, run all tests from within that virtual environment.

Octane 2.0 is a benchmark developed by Google that measures JavaScript performance. A higher Octane 2.0 score correlates to faster page load times. Octane 2.0 factors in your computer hardware and browser choice.

- Using newer-generation hardware with faster CPUs generates higher Octane 2.0 scores.
- Using the latest version of Salesforce-supported browsers generates higher Octane 2.0 scores.
    - IE11 results in low Octane 2.0 scores and much slower page load speeds.
