TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. To update our global baseline from 2017, we want to update our priors on a few dimensions: The evolved device landscape. Modern network performance and availability. The Moto G4 , for example.
