We’ve decided to take another break for the Web Almanac this year. This wasn’t an easy call to make, but we feel it’s the right one given the huge effort the project takes and not wanting to half-commit. There’s a lot going on at the moment and we’re all pretty busy and many of you are too. 1/4 🧵

My contribution to this years Web Performance Calendar is all about Third Parties and Single Points of Failure (SPOF). Based on @httparchive.org data I found that 67% of websites have at least 1 render blocking third party - and quite a few of them are SPOF risks!

We've taken the new version of the Core Web Vitals Tech Report out of Beta and now consider this the report to use: httparchive.org/reports/tech... Anyone still using the old Looker Studio-based report, it's time to check out the new goodness with much quicker response times and improved UX!

New @httparchive.org analysis about sites adding AI Bots and Crawlers to their robots.txt files. While robots.txt doesn't "block" bots by itself, it's a clear demonstration of the preferences of site owners and the sentiment towards AI crawlers on today's web. paulcalvano.com/2025-08-21-a...

Day 010 #100DaysOfPerf: In an apt compliment and follow up to the page weight post, working with media is one rife with challenges. Media loading, media formats, media codecs... But it's what makes the web so valuable. ✨ MEDIA ✨ chapter from the @httparchive.org is another worth checking 🧵⬇️

Though I shared a link from the @httparchive.org and the 2024 Web Almanac, sharing a chart from the the actual archive: over 5 yrs, the page weight has grown almost 30%, and there has never been an indication of slowing down. The almanac chapter covers much of the data proving so. 🧵⬇️
