100 KB of images is not the same as 100 KB of JavaScript. You could technically still create a website that is a 1 KB HTML document that loads almost 1 MB of JavaScript, which is definitely too much.

I think they are looking at whatever loads in that initial Page Load.

Sure, many sites are bloated, but I can't help but feel the sentiment is somewhat dramatic. Cancerous growth? "Client-side queries!?"

Performance is just one piece of the UX puzzle. Users don't really care about bundle size... They care if your site provides value in a reasonable amount of time.

How about WebAssembly? Whats your size limit for that?

1MB in size feels like an attempt to define “performant” without considering... performance. A speed test from an “average” connection that also measures first paint etc. would be much more meaningful: not all megabytes are equal.

I love the idea, just needs a better measurement.
