While current network speeds may be enough to meet the latency requirements of 4G applications, 5G will necessitate a change, if only because the continental US is ~60ms wide, meaning that a datacenter on one coast communicating with another datacenter on the opposite coast will be too slow for 5G. This requires 1 ms network latency.

And we need to have strategies in place to understand and manage our pages. Don't assume hardware and networks will mitigate page bloat.

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. That’s the bad news.

And if that already wasn’t enough, the number of images on a page has been linked to lower conversion rates on retail sites. Having said all that, making your pages as small as possible is in the best interest of your users who don't have access to fast networks and devices. More on that later.) How quickly do they show up?
