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

Does mobile-first benefit from JavaScript frameworks / SPAs, or is it hurt by them?

@wilsonminer@simonw this is a misnomer—not all bytes are created equal: JS loads differently and has more performance impact than images.3 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

@zachleat@wilsonminer true, JS is more likely to block page rendering + there's additional burden (esp. on mobile) of parsing/executing it1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@simonw@zachleat@wilsonminer : chrome, opera, and soon FF, but it's progressive. You can adopt now and benefit more over time2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@slightlylate@simonw@zachleat@wilsonminer unforch it's not easy to fallback to appcache. If you *need* offline on iOS it's not so simple.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@HenrikJoreteg @simonw @zachleat @wilsonminer : so don't? Do what you usually do for iOS and stop hitting yourself in the face with AppCache
