How's the mobile CPU landscape evolving? Thanks to process node improvements, a mid-range Android from 2025 is (finally!) as fast as 2017's iPhone 8, but a low-end (~$100) smartphone isn't yet as speedy as a decade-old iPhone 6s.

@ricky.fm When you have multiple (unrelated) expensive components running transitions to update, how could you "flush" some transitions individually instead of batching? (apart from making each comp faster to render)

This can result in *tons* of preloads that are bad for LCP and also wastes network bandwidth/data.

The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm could be made 33x faster.
Ran into that while wondering why running `npm install` takes so long on the Preact repo.

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - Semver
During the installation process, package managers run a bunch of semver comparisons. The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm can be made around 33x faster.

⚡ Lighthouse (incorrectly) punishes preloading
If you’re like me, you probably struggled with Lighthouse scores at least once. “I already optimized everything; why is my score still yellow?”
Often, the cause is there’s more to optimize. But sometimes, it’s Lighthouse itself.

Chrome 136+ ships a new V8 version that supports a "compile hint", which makes V8 parse and compile all functions in that file eagerly.
Great for entry points – where you know all functions will very likely be used. Less so as 'one weird trick to make all your JS faster'.

Did you know that jQuery outperforms React, what? 😳
Sounds like clickbait, but is reality. The HTTP Archive shows 82% of sites that use jQuery have good INP on mobile📱, while only 67% do when they use React⚛️.
Not just sites, also libraries. Let's fix that👇#webperf

Say hello to `inverse-subset`! The idea is from a conversation with @andydavies.me at #perfnow. When you have a complete font and a subset e.g. Latin, generate another subset consisting of everything not in the original subset. E.g. all characters that are NOT Latin. npmjs.com/package/inverse-subset
