The HTTP Archive’s
Web Almanac is built upon the Archive’s rich data set and a braintrust of 85 volunteer contributors. It’s great nerdy reading, but I can’t help concluding the web is not in great shape: Most sites are
not fast, or
secure, or
accessible. And, of course, most sites—74%—are built with
Wordpress, or other monolithic CMS-based systems.
…improvements in page weight have been more constrained by the low adoption of best practices than by the technology itself.
We know that monolithic systems are inherently slower than
our way, but I believe the problem is that people building websites often don’t know or don’t care to use best practices. We can do
better!
