    I wrote a blog post about frontend and why it should be a top priority for service teams. "Web performance can mean the difference in someone being able to get what they need from government or abandoning their task completely."

    Anyone happen to know if there is a central resource for pointing people to how they can help support social justice efforts that includes resources globally? Both financially and actively (calling your reps in the US, MP's in the UK, etc)?

    Ever wanted to test the web performance of your sites 404 page, but the testing tools failed because it returns a 404 code? Well now you can with this little workaround in WebPageTest. Thanks (again) to for fixing this!

    Set the minimum duration in the advanced tab to 1 or 2 seconds to enable it.
    Waterfall with minimum duration set.

    A few more improvements coming very soon too, so the site is (hopefully) going to get quicker for all devices and connections. Nice work team 👏👏

    And we can finally make the most the features H2 has to offer. Serving all assets off a single domain allows: • all assets to use a connection that is up to speed (TCP slow start) • prioritisation can happen across all assets • no more h2 connection coalescing required 3/4

    Considering where we were at the start of Feb: HTTP/1.1, SRI, shard domain, ~13 TCP connections. Now down to just 1 TCP connection in many cases. 2/4

    Great to see some fantastic work happening on at the moment. The team have been gradually removing the shard domain for critical assets, and it's made quite a difference! Images from Chrome on a 3G connection and S4 on 3G. 1/4

    Just transferred my Silverstone F1 ticket from 2020 to the GP in 2021. Gutted not to be able to go this year, but something to look forward to next year. Roll on 11th July 2021!

    A Google study over millions of page impressions found that when a site meets the recommended thresholds for the Core Web Vitals metrics, users are at least 24% less likely to abandon a page before it finishes loading.

    In the Page Weight chapter of the 2019 Web Almanac, and make an important point: unoptimized images and autoplaying videos are not just performance issues — they can actually cost some users real money. 🔖

    Quote from the Page Weight chapter of the 2019 Web Almanac: “How global is the world wide web when people in some parts of the world would have to give up a day's wages just to visit a few dozen pages?"

    "Around the world with TLS 1.0 part 2 (Feb 2020 edition)" also available in non-Medium form. tl;dr: TLS1.0 usage is down by ~77% in 15 months for our audience but still stubbornly high in some geo's. RT's appreciated 🙌

    I wrote an update on my late 2018 blog post which shows our view of global TLS1.0 usage & how that varies by country etc. The orig post is mentioned in this thread. Publishing took a while with all that's going on.
