I’m not sure if this is true because there are many many many examples where improving client performance increases conversion in e-commerce sites. https://web.dev/rakuten/

I am an insider to this space and I think you are probably an outsider. That link doesn’t say what you think it does. LCP before optimization is a cause of what? For example, a complex product page. Well of course that will convert worse, because the product is complicated. But not too simple! 0.5s performs as bad as 2s. Anyway, in my real experience, conversion fluctuates so much across products, the range greatly e…

But it doesn't say 0.5s performs as badly as 2s. It lists 5 ways it performs better including a 33.13% increase in conversion rate. What am I missing?

You can buy a used M1 Air for $700. Maybe $650. It'd be significantly faster than Mighty's solution because M1's ST is faster than Epyc's ST.

Browsers aren't single threaded, so the ST performance isn't the end-all-be-all metric to use. JavaScript is single threaded, but the browser itself uses multiple threads. E.g. there is the main thread, which handles the user input. There is the rendering thread, which actually takes up a majority of the CPU time on a lot of websites. And then there is stuff like GPU acceleration, which makes a lot of the web perform…

It is the end all, be all metric. The reason is because once a certain threshold of MT performance is reached, which the M1 most certainly reaches, then the ST is what matters for how fast your website loads, even with multiple tabs opened.
