Among 50,000 websites the HTTP Archive was monitoring at the time, 87% of the time was spent on the frontend and 13% on the backend. I broke the percentages down by page rank (based on traffic to the site). I ran a few queries against the HTTP Archive to see how well the same logic applies today. First up, the mobile results.
