I built the site and I agree. :) Two things: 1. The data is in the process of being updated. Prices change quickly and from the trend of past changes I fully expect these prices to…

You probably already noticed, but you can also access site cost data from the WebPageTest itself. (Note the cost column in the metric summary for your linked test, for example: htt…

Bytes over the wire (I can clarify in the post too). So _most_ of that weight is gonna have gzip or brotli applied. (Last I looked, around 17% of JS requests recorded by HTTP Archi…

I suspect you're absolutely right! :) Using jQuery is definitely a different style of development than using something like Angular/Vue/React. I tried to clarify in the post (under…

FWIW, they did let performance factor, slightly, into ranking, but there was never a "fast" icon (one was rumored, but never shipped). An icon like that would've easily motivated f…

Automated tooling is a must, yes. The riskiest part about relying on ONLY GH's solution (IMO) is the NVD/CVE limitation. I agree, CVE would be _awesome_ in theory. In reality, very…

Completely agree! The post actually alludes to that a bit towards the end. > Single Page Apps increase the amount of client side logic and user input processing. This makes them mo…

Ha! I'll try to add some decimal points for sub $.01 sites.
