So brave.

#512 people for a static site seems like a huge team to me.

Well, if they "discover" it, then they did "learn" something.

#7It's still way too slow. It's a big page of text. It should load in an instant.
In my browser, I see 1.75 MB sent over the wire and a 2.5 second load time. My big pages of text [1] need 105 kB and load in 0.4 seconds. Their compressed critical CSS is the same size as my entire uncompressed CSS file. They send more CSS bytes than I send bytes in total.
If you want to make a content website fast, it's quite simple: send just the content.

#8Nice to see another company covering all these steps and validating the work we've done at my company. Unfortunately we weren't as successful, or at least, our results were not as fruitful. A good score for our site (tracker.gg) is 70 on mobile. Turns out it's pretty hard to optimize the bootstraping of an application that can render 20 different websites! Mobile devices spend 1200ms on the main thread. It will be interesting to see how these changes impact our page rank when Google starts incorporating Core Web Vitals into its algorithm this year.
