I'd put network use in a different category. It is an important issue though.
Thankfully the tools are getting better for this. The recently supported font-display property is a great one. It allows devs to choose how to handle web font rendering over slower internet connections.
Now I just wish more devs would start to take advantage of all the great performance tools available. Those best practices are unfortunately rarely taught.

My rationale for considering it to be included is that as the concept was developed I took the spirit of progressive enhancement to be doing the best with what your users have rather than only catering to people with the same setup you have. > Now I just wish more devs would start to take advantage of all the great performance tools available. Those best practices are unfortunately rarely taught. Agreed. I think one of the challenges has been both showing business value from performance — once you're putting things into a cost/benefit comparison it's a lot easier to get people to routinely consider the performance impact of their decisions.
- collinmanderson 8y agofor font-display, do you prefer swap or fallback?
- SquareWheel 8y agoIt might depend on main body text versus title text. It's jarring when body text changes so I'd prefer fallback in that case. For a title which might have more branding concerns, I'd prefer swap.
