The availability of bandwidth increases at a staggering rate, but we're never happy. We become annoyed when we run a speed test on our broadband provider only to find that, on a good day, we are getting maybe half of the rated download speed we are paying for, and the upload speed is likely much worse.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Engineering is the discipline of designing solutions under specific constraints. This split decision was available via last year's update , but was somewhat buried.

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. This local story is important, but it isn't the whole picture.

Performance isn’t just a technical concern: it matters, and when baking it into the workflow, design decisions have to be informed by their performance implications. 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.
