Gregory's ServerDeclaring top 10% best-performing websites as fast, even if they are no fast by any absolute mean and certainly not fast enough for human perception... Bad idea that feels appropriate for our dark times :(

2.5 seconds (yes! seconds!) “aims to be feasible for enough sites to attain in practice”. What a joke. I don’t even know how to make a website this slow. Thread.sleep(2400)?  @nikitonsky Don't forget that this they'll aim at 2500ms on a high-end computer with high-speed internet. Probably around a minute for those will slower internet.   @nikitonsky but... These 2 seconds can become 10 seconds in next years. Would it be still "fast"? :)  EvgenyNr, sadly, most people will accept that as a status quo because "computers are just like that". Nothing surprises me any more after I saw one of my relatives use her phone that took solid 10 seconds to register inputs because she installed an antivirus and a bunch of other crap on it. She never noticed that something was wrong. |
Computers and networks are getting faster, human reaction time is staying the same, websites are getting slower. So instead of fixing or at least acknowledging it, they declare slow as the new normal? And claim it as “science” and “research-based”? https://blog.chromium.org/2020/05/the-science-behind-web-vitals.html
