    It's really, *really* important for web developers & others who care about the web to understand how poorly the web performs in emerging markets -- and why that re-enforces the centralizing position of top-10 native apps.

        When every link is an unknowably large tax...why bother? When there's no content in your language, search isn't helpful. When you can't read read, URLs are not an asset.

        The current state of mobile web development -- and the inability to deliver competitive experiences no matter how hard you try -- are custom-made arguments for the superiority of native platforms and the strong centralization that comes with them.

        I know it's Cassandra-esque to witter on about this, but we cannot afford to continue on as we are. Too much script, too often, is drowning our opportunity to compete.

        Most EM users -- particularly the budget-conscious -- carry Androids, so the fact that Apple is ~3 years behind there has less of an impact.

        How supportive are we of #webperf advocates in EM like @codebeast and @unicodeveloper who live and breathe these challenges and work tirelessly to educate their dev communities on such best practices?

        Meanwhile blog posts on https://blog.google/  are still shipping over 20 MB, literally.

        Google sites are not absolved of having to do work here too. In the case of http://blog.google , I've raised the issue of (massive) image bloat with them before. They've committed to fixing their image processing pipeline & looking at setting tighter upload size limits.

        Cannot agree with you more, being in Nigeria currently is very eye opening. I thought I knew Africa but have been humbled by my visit here these past few days. When the choice is food/transport to work vs internet web pages sapping up all your money; something is very wrong ...
