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.

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C

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.

You need a business stakeholder buy-in, and to get it, you need to establish a case study on how speed benefits metrics and Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) they care about. Note : If you use Page Speed Insights (no, it isn’t deprecated), you can get CrUX performance data for specific pages instead of just the aggregates.
