I have empirical data that the web is getting faster. Well,
@slightlylate has better data but he's working really hard to make things not suck (and my evidence suggests he & friends are succeeding).2 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -

it's not outside the scope of my position that: * the web in general has gotten faster * web applications may have individually gotten slower and other web apps may have gotten faster * net new workflows enabled by the web (ie hard/impossible w/o web) can "feel" slow

I mean, I'm assuming that it's not outside scope that alex has empirical data that the web as a whole is getting faster* but presumably there's individual sites that are still just doggone slow * I dunno, I'm imagining page load times for everyone using GA?

The web is getting slower because no matter how much faster we make Chrome, developers abuse users with ever-larger piles of JS: https://httparchive.org/reports/state-of-javascript … ...and JS is the most expensive thing: https://infrequently.org/2017/10/can-you-afford-it-real-world-web-performance-budgets/ …

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

This tweet just snuck into my timeline and I am intrigued. Are you meaning like a user- or vendor-adjustable threshold for the classic "a script on this page is running slowly - wait / stop" dialog?

Default set by browser in a contextually aware way (network, CPU understanding can help), perhaps user adjustable? Dunno. Either way, budget sent in a header to server.
