      Most sites I trace that have H/2 enabled *still* have (at least) two critical-path HTTP connections to set up. Assuming 2 connections and a P75-speed device, we cut that 1.5MiB to something like 500K. Each additional connection you need to set up subtracts an additional 50K.

      That P75 device is likely to have a Snapdragon 625; something like the Redmi S2: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_s2_(redmi_y2)-9185.php …

      P90-concerned sites -- folks that need to reach all users; think budget-market e-commerce, govt sites, etc. -- are on a much tougher budget this time next year. At the margin, networks aren't going to have even 3Mbps; so let's sub in 1.6Mbps as that's "fast 3G" today.

      No caching sounds like broken browsers that can't special case the most common frameworks, and is the p90 a sequence of fully unrelated page views? The snapdragon thing is interesting, but seems similar: modern JS should be be able to lazy load 50KB fast (200ms?)

      Modern frontend practice compiles frameworks into per-site bundles. Caching defeated even if we offered it! It's worse than that, but a deep topic w/ many nuances.

      On "lazy load", one thing I want to see: does it get "honest" pixels to the user quickly? Critical-path JS puts network in the way. Late long tasks (usually from large scripts and/or "rehydration") delay user input, which breaks UX ("dishonest" pixels; they don't respond).

      Smaller bundles help address both effects. And remember, your view framework is a critical dependency unless you architect for progressive enhancement. How lazy can it be, really?

      Yep - this is IMO where mindset needs to shift. An app framework is in a VERY privileged & trusted spot to achieve dynamic resource scheduling. Hearing app framework opts touted while punting on doing for userlibs is nails-on-chalkboard for me. A LOT to lazy load... downstream.

      As in, better code splitting? That's one of the most effective remediations for folks today, along with removing unneeded transpiler passes and auditing dependencies. Suspect fewer teams would find themselves in trouble if view frameworks aggressively recommended.

      Yep, and stronger words than "aggressively reccomend" RE:framework size, it sounds like on-device cached load is the technical need, with inability to cache in 2020 being more ideological. So that's the benchmark of framework cost: device CPU (warm) vs. disk (cold)

      It's not ideology, it's hard privacy and security constraints + an ecosystem that has hardened practice against it. Unwinding that is <= effort to fix controllable aspects of sites. And just to be clear: React is *uniquely* bloated.

          We've come full circle: React isn't bloated; the sites built with React, Vue, Preact, and everything else that doesn't enforce lazy loading etc. are victims of framework-induced bloat. And we can't be in a world of adwords+chrome yet say caching is Bad.
