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. Modern network performance and availability.

So, if we created an overview of all the things we have to keep in mind when improving performance — from the very start of the project until the final release of the website — what would that look like? Networking, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 OCSP stapling, EV/DV certificates, packaging, IPv6, QUIC, HTTP/3. 300ms RTT, 1.6 Mbps down, 0.8

Yet, this criticism of React isn’t completely unwarranted: React and ReactDOM total about 120 KiB of minified JavaScript, which definitely contributes to slow startup time. When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware.

Google founders figured out smart ways to rank websites by analyzing their connection patterns and using that information to improve the relevance of search results. They have a clear input and output definition, and often a schema as well. Back in the days of Web 1.0, Leverage the convergence of fast data and microservices.

I've got a long blog post brewing on this, but jumping to the end, an operable definition is: A browser is an application that can register with an OS to handle http and https navigations by default. On Android today and early iOS versions, WebViews allow embedders to observe and modify all network traffic (regardless of encryption).

As is the case with many other developers, the reports over the last few years of the huge energy requirements of the web have prompted me to take a look at my own websites and see what I can do to minimize their impact. But first, a confession: When I first heard about the environmental impact of websites, I didn’t quite believe it.

A year after the first web servers became available, how many companies had websites or were experimenting with building them? That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. Certainly not two-thirds of them. report that the difficulty of training a model is a problem.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. An often used metaphor is that of a pipe used to transport water.

As a trend, it’s not performing well on Google; it shows little long-term growth, if any, and gets nowhere near as many searches as terms like “Observability” and “Generative Adversarial Networks.” Our current set of AI algorithms are good enough, as is our hardware; the hard problems are all about data.
