Developers really don't care. They will claim otherwise with great conviction, but its all posturing and bullshit. If developers did care they would measure everything and challenge popular assumptions. Instead most developers want to randomly guess at what works and instead talk about tools. That's why most pages will never come close to being vaguely fast. 9 seconds is still really slow.
My hamster mobile can achieve 0 to 60mph in under 8 seconds while a Corvette C8 takes about 2.6 seconds. Nobody gives a shit what socket wrench they used to put the tires on.

- throwaway0asd 4y agoI don’t buy that at all. There is a world of difference between poor performance due to low prioritization and lying about it.
