zachleat.com is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.

Server stats:

active users

every time someone says that a web site “feels fast” you must append “on my device” to the statement and a dollar must be placed in the works-on-my-machine jar

@zachleat But what if the standard set of measurements aren't capturing actual lived experience? A bog standard MPA might score well in tests, but if every time I change page I have to trek to the server/DB in the US (It's always in the US) and back, then it can be a worse experience than client side routing. And of course CSR isn't really captured in tests, so it's easy for people to point to an MPA and say "See the official stats? This is always better".

@peterreeves sure but we don’t judge cars based specifically on how fast they are in 3rd gear or higher—we measure 0–60. Ignoring empty-cache first-page-load performance is starting in 3rd gear
