Ouch, good catch!
The page loads 41 requests and 12.88 MB of data, with the page taking 2+ seconds to properly load the content (1.09s according to Chrome dev tools, but this is just the initial DOM load).
For a simple webpage with white background and dark text.
- josteink 7y agoNot only that, all those MBs are there just to help deliver a 1800 byte text-payload. That's literally a 2500x bloat-factor. But hey, AMP is because Google care deeply about quick web-pages. No alternate agenda here, no siree.
- bsimpson 7y agoGoogle is a mind-bogglingly massive company. You can't infer anything about its stance on perf from a blog post, except perhaps that the people who care about web perf aren't babysitting the blog (which is probably using a third-party CMS). Incidentally, I only see a 260K image when I dev-tools that page. I can't reproduce the 4.5MB download.
