Everything is slower across every single facet of computing. Something is happening. I have a brand new Mac Studio M4 Max with 64gb of ram and every site is still slower than it was on a 2011 Mac Book Pro.
- treve 1y agoWeb developers should be forced to use hardware that's roughly at the 10th percentile in performance of their user base, not the 90th. Alternatively, make performance a WCAG concern.
- LilBytes 1y agoI don't think this would help, if a site or SPA performs terribly on a high end machine, the only conclusion I can draw is performance testing isn't tested or validated at all.
- varenc 1y agoChrome Dev tools, and hopefully others, have a performance monitor option that lets you throttle the CPU and throttle the network. It should be plenty possible to test performance of sites on simulated 10th percentile systems, but this just seems low priority.
- anon7000 1y agoI remember using the internet 15 years aho, and things were definitely slower. I also wasn’t using the internet to run full-blown spreadsheets and design tools back then. My M series Macs are the snappiest computers I’ve used (minus my desktop when it runs Linux, but not windows).
