      I would expect mobile first design to result in significantly lighter pages, since you should need less HTML/CSS/JS to "fill" a small screen

      But the trends are in the opposite direction. Does Retina offset that effect, or do mobile-first pages end up fatter for some reason?

      Most likely answer might be that mobile-first approach is still uncommon enough that it doesn't show up in global httparchive stats

      @simonw : 3rd-parties, ads ruin much of the good a mobile-first template does. Really frustrating.

      @simonw : @KenjiBaheux audited the page and sent results to @TheVerge. They have a lot to fix, but turns out font services are sad-making

          .@migurski @simonw: only one that isn't perf kryptonite is Google Fonts CSS include, and even that needs new browser apis to make better 😫🙇😦

          @simonw @KenjiBaheux : but the sheer # of third parties that sites like @TheVerge pull in is a real challenge. They can't all be valuable

          @slightlylate @KenjiBaheux @TheVerge we ended up rolling our own lightweight localStorage-based font embedding rather than use a service

          @simonw @slightlylate @TheVerge IMHO, too much focus on #responsivedesign which only covers UX/layout, we need #responsibledesign ;)
