Similarly from cross-site navigation — think Google search results or the like and then clicking back. WebPageTest is one of the few web performance testing tools that actually tests a reload of the page using a primed HTTP Cache — most of the other tools just flag if your HTTP resources are not explicitly set to be cached.

How does page bloat affect other metrics, such as Google's Core Web Vitals? Poorly executed stylesheets can create a host of performance problems, ranging from stylesheets taking too long to download and parse, to improperly placed stylesheets that block the rest of the page from rendering. This falls short of Google's threshold of 2.5

You would, however, be hard-pressed even today to find a good article that details the nuanced best practices. This is because, as I stated in the introduction to part 1 , much of the early HTTP/2 content was overly optimistic about how well it would work in practice, and some of it, quite frankly, had major mistakes and bad advice.
