1/ Is compression about to get a major upgrade?
@stoyan.me predicts "compression dictionaries everywhere" by 2025. By storing common elements once and sending only the unique parts, we can drastically reduce transfer times. Will you be integrating this? #WebPerf #Compression 🧵👇

1/ 🚨 Is 2025 the year we crack INP for SPAs?
Soft navigations often hide input delays that degrade UX in SPAs. INP helps uncover these issues, making smooth interactions non-negotiable.

Traditional optimizations make your site fast. But to truly deliver seamless experiences, sites must combine proven tools with speculative loading. It’s not a choice—it’s a strategy. ✨ #WebPerf

An additional tip: After the user has spotted the problematic LCP element, they can use the AI assistance to ask how the performance of the element can be improved, so you don't only find the problems with the DevTools, but now have the means to solve them as well 🤩

THIS.IS.SO.COOL! 🤯

This is good. The 5 minute heuristic was un-specced and a bit weird.

And seriously people, strongly consider adding even a short caching lifetime for your HTML pages! There's so many benefits!!! Is your content really that critical that you need it to be refetched each and every time?

Reading through the #WebAlmanac this week, one thing is clear: the need for innovation in mobile #webperf is growing. 📱
INP gives a clearer view of user experience, revealing that while desktop metrics remain steady, mobile performance for top sites (10K–1M) has dipped.
