I can't wait for one of the executives in my company to run into this, understand nothing but the numbers, and then complain about our numbers not being higher despite the fact that half of these metrics aren't applicable to our web app.
I already have a boilerplate response to "why isn't our google pagespeed score higher" that I copy and paste.
I know Google's happy about performance nagging, but I wish they were better at knowing what is/isn't applicable.
- kaycebasques 8y agoI agree that this is a problem. See my other comment in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442686 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442686
- stupidbird 8y agoThanks for reading through the comments. I do agree that some sort of "not all these metrics may be applicable to your architecture, please consult an engineer" would go a long way. I left a toxic work environment at one point where I was literally yelled at because I was claiming to know our company's situation better than Google's pagespeed tools. Needless to say, that wasn't the only problem with that job... but it's frustrating.
