TTFB doesn't mean what you think it means Time-To-First-Byte (TTFB) is a popular performance metric, yet there are many problems and nuances with it. Not only does it have several different definitions, it is usually also a "compound" metric,...

Web Performance Calendar day 24 with @programmingart.bsky.social on TTFB. Yes, it's one of those X-mas Eves where we cuddle by the fire, drop everything and immerse into re-learning and re-evaluating what we thought we knew about a concept we use daily

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2026 - Infrequently Noted Embedded in this year's network and device estimates is hopeful news about the trajectory of devices and networks. It has never been easier to deliver pages quickly, but we are not collectively…

Inspired by perfnow.nl, I've dusted off drafts of my network and device situation analysis. Good news/bad news: devices and networks are improving, but pages are swelling. The web is usable for the wealthy, but less so for everyone else.

Worldwide smartphone shipments by year in millions; sources: IDC, Statista, and Counterpoint Research.

At no point in the past decade have iPhones broken the 20% annual sales barrier. iOS is overrepresented in traffic statistics owing to wealth-correlated effects; e.g., faster networks and devices inducing heavier internet use. This does not imply that users on slower devices do not have money to spend, only that they are poorly served by the contemporary web.
