2015-2020: Overhead As part of production rollout I did many performance overhead tests, which I've described publicly before: The overhead of adding frame pointers to everything (libc and Java) was usually less than 1%, with one exception of 10%. Google should be no surprise because they pioneered continuous profiling.)

In 2015, 35% of the internet traffic came from mobile devices, 6 years later, the number is 54.8%. Whether there are any third-party links, need to open a website, or search on Google, mobile devices are the fastest and quickest way to reach the aim. Then, the best way is to opt for a cloud-based device lab.

2015 saw the trend of scriptless testing and IoT focussed methodologies. In 2016, Google made it clear that since mobile traffic is more than all else, mobile-friendly websites will be prioritised when a user searches on mobile. Again, this was shaped by the market trends and the increasing importance of both of this software.

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively.

In fact, Google’s Alex Russels recommends to aim for 130–170KB gzipped as a reasonable upper boundary, and exceeding this budget should be an informed and deliberate decision. In real-life world, most products aren’t even close: an average bundle size today is around 400KB , which is up 35% compared to late 2015.
