Surveyed sites are a terrible sample. Gmail could speed up load time significantly, but you won’t see more email being sent.

Gmail, an email app with a very loyal userbase, is a worse example tbh. Gmail did have to cater to their low-end users. They check network speed and bandwidth and serve you a different bundle (or none) accordingly.

You could work for Google. They also believe that their apps are the exception. Any app that doesn't sell ads or impulse purchasing like ecommerce is likely not going to see a huge change in engagement with a larger bundle size. Every app I've ever worked on my entire career.

I've seen numbers. I fully believe
@slightlylate and@addyosmani's assertions around who's using the web, with what devices, on what connections, and how they're all being hosed by huge framework apps' initial load times. It's a crisis.3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -
You sure it’s not ads?

Adam Rackis @AdamRackistil CNN pumps down 2.7MB of JavaScript (gzipped - NOT parsed) The next time I hear a web perf advocate complaining about a 30kb js library I'm gonna start flipping tables so hard Jesus'll be all "yo dawg calm the fuck down"
Addy never has, tbc. He's always been great

A bit of airplane wifi; you expect me to bite on tactless whataboutism? Nah. Will only note for those that aren't just trolling that I focus on 1p because until that's in reasonable shape, demanding 3ps behave is hipocrytical, blame-shifting, or both.

Replying to @slightlylate @ryanflorence and
Why not focus on the biggest perf hits, regardless of 1p or 3p? 3p seems to be pretty catastrophic. 1p can be brutal if you're not careful with your bundler (ie 3 copies of the entire d3 library) 1p client libraries seem tame in comparison.

Replying to @AdamRackis @slightlylate and
Also, I wasn't trolling. It's just extremely disappointing to see literal megabytes of 3p crap on sites like CNN, much coming from Google, while Google perf folks often focus on relatively infinitesimal js client frameworks.

Not biting. The only high ground is to have your own house in order.
