Its a giude about web UI best practices, and the icons symbolizing the different topics are not clickable? Besides, I didn't even notice that some of the headlines/h2s in the subsequent pages are actually clickable. Then, they actually enlosed their elements inside a tag.

Thanks for taking a look! We soft launched yesterday; this is definitely still a work in progress.

Are you referring to the video on this page?

https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/documentation...

Clicking the non-control parts of the video opens a demo page with the responsive HTML/CSS demoed in the video. The controls still work, at least in Chrome 34 on Mavericks. If you're talking about something else, could you file an issue on GitHub?

a) How is one supposed to know what is clickable on that webpage? b) Why are the circles not valid click targets? c) If you say this -> "To deliver the best user experience, we must deliver content as quickly as possible (<1 second)" then why does your section on Critical Rendering Path show the optimized page load in 1.5 seconds?

the circles are not clickable at the lower part of the page, but in the drop down menu they are clickable. Seems inconsistent to me.

Kinda strange I'm the first to compliment them on a very nice resource. Would've loved to have had this when I was starting out. Google can do some good things people.

Do people still use form autocomplete client side? I thought there was a terrible "bug" in sites stealing your address and email by putting in a hidden inputs with these autocomplete attributes?

This thread is full of people nit-picking design concerns with this open source resource, however the actual content in this seems to be top-notch!

Hmm. For me it correctly redirects to the appropriate path on google-developers.appspot.com. Could you verify that you're still having trouble and if so file an issue describing where specifically you encountered the dead link? https://github.com/google/WebFundamentals/issues/new

I rather not assist Google in any capacity whatsoever, sorry.
