Meanwhile, on Android, the #2 and #3 sources of web traffic do not respect browser choice. Because they lean on the system-provided WebView component, they do not need to pay the expense of a heavier app download to support rendering HTML, running JavaScript, decoding images, or loading network resources.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. An often used metaphor is that of a pipe used to transport water. Congestion Control.

Let’s face it – the ideal load test emulates real world traffic, yet most load testing software doesn’t come close. Today we’ll be reviewing LoadView , an on-demand load-testing platform from Dotcom-Monitor that makes realistic load testing possible without an up-front investment in hardware or software infrastructure.

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.
