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. Hard Reset.

It's time once again to update our priors regarding the global device and network situation. seconds on the target device and network profile, consuming 120KiB of critical path resources to become interactive, only 8KiB of which is script. What's changed since last year? and 75KiB of JavaScript. These are generous targets.

2017: MongoDB goes public, trading as MDB. Though still not “profitable” by many benchmarks, it’s a lot closer to being so, perhaps in a big way.) (Some might say this marked the beginning of MongoDB’s “cloud push” escalation.) Since then, the stock price has increased more than 600%.

A 2017 study by Akamai says as much when it found that even a 100ms delay in page load can decrease conversions by 7% and lose 1% of their sales for every 100ms it takes for their site to load which, at the time of the study, was equivalent to $1.6 Source: Google /SOASTA Research, 2018. Lighthouse.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. WebGL 2 launched for other platforms on Chrome and Firefox in 2017.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. — Alex Russell (@slightlylate) October 4, 2017. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. For developers and decision makers with fast phones on fast networks this is a double-whammy of hidden costs.
