It’s a mid-2012 1.8GHz Core i5 with 8GB of RAM. It’s perfectly fine for native apps on El Capitam. But the web (Safari 11.1) is goddamn slow on it. Ghostery is also on, blocking most.

I fantasize about a "never unknowingly slow" mode for Chrome: under a set budget, we load whatevs. Above that limit, we pause/block, log it as an error, and prompt users with a "tap here to continue" in case it's too broken. /cc

Do iiiiiitttt I mean Apple does it for 32bit apps on iOS so you can just say you learned it from them

I’d be interested in studies of the 1st party vs 3rd party split for these 300-400 kB of scripts. Also the functionality vs ads+tracking split.

We know that (based on
@HTTPArchive) sites with more third-parties tend to have a much slower time-to-interactive. We might be able to dig into the 1st vs 3rd party attribution for heavy scripts too cc@rick_viscomi@paulcalvanopic.twitter.com/3bzKYwVZbm

I KNEW IT ALEX AGREES WITH ME or rather Alex already knew it and I agree with him

Lol well in some web devs defence, our pages load over twice as fast as they used to, and we measure against slow mobile devices.
(We have a long way to go but native apps these days do 3d compositing on the GPU for button presses or vr or something
)

I’d be interested to see the same chart for mobile app sizes. Anecdotally it seems like app sizes have ballooned too.
-
Actually, I just found that chart of app size over time: https://medium.com/googleplaydev/shrinking-apks-growing-installs-5d3fcba23ce2 … Looks like it follows the same pattern as the Web has.

Preach it brother!!!! I take flack for pointing this out all the time. Especially from enterprise developers. An average page load near 20 seconds is completely unacceptable.
