📢 New post: The State of ES5 on the Web.

Two years ago, I had this crazy idea that defied most conventional wisdom at the time.

What if the main cause of poor LCP isn't image size or format? But instead, it's how quickly sites are able to start loading those images.

It took some time to get data to answer that question—but turns out, it's true!

👋 New post:

How to use container queries now (and still support older browsers)
