Talk about breaking the back button! Do a measurement on a website. Then click one of the Guide links like "Links do not have a discernible name". Page navigates away from the report to some documentation. Click back, report is gone.
I get it, it's a single page webapp. But if you do that you need to make all the simple navigations open new tabs. There is a "open link in new button" icon next to each link, but that's really not good enough.
- robdodson 8y agoAh yeah that's something we want to fix. If you're signed in it keeps the report around but if you're signed-out it's stateless. It's definitely on our to-do list to fix.
- NelsonMinar 8y agoFair enough! Thanks for the reply.
- koboll 8y agoMaybe just throw on a target='_blank', no need to do anything fancy
- sniuff 8y agoit's stateless
- dmitriid 8y ago> on our to-do list to fix This is sort of representative of web.dev vs the rest of Google. Read the rest of the comments, seriously. I would be very discouraged to release this web site when the rest of the company is vehemently opposed to any of the practices listed there.
- softawre 8y agoIt's made worse by the fact that you can't easily read the recommendation without clicking on it.
- exodust 8y agoGood to see someone else mention this, and also for the Google web.dev.dev to reply.
- exprA 8y agoAlso broken everywhere else in the site for me: you never get back to where you were* , even on a “static” page full of links. A horrible excuse of a web site – but perhaps that still makes for a good web app. I couldn't tell and don't know if I'd want to. * edit for clarification: this includes position on previous page
