The "contributing" options on the web.dev bottom for example don't seem quite as inviting as say github.com/mdn/content, which imo helps reinforce the impression this is a google/chromium-first thing.

(just trying to provide some feedback on why I had my initial impressions on web.dev)

Arguably, you can't expect Chrome engineers to add non-chromium behaviours in there, but it's also unclear (at least to me on the outside looking in) if you would accept contributions from say Firefox/Safari/outsiders to extend that type of article with cross-browser content (it's already extensive)

Good to know this is the intent (as @paul.kinlan.me also echoed), but from my perspective, web.dev articles that talk about the type of topics I research, are usually still exceptionally chromium-focused, even for features in baseline (prime example being web.dev/articles/fet...).

Thanks Patrick. I would definitely be interested in contributing docs, I'm just not sure where they would fit best. Web.dev is traditionally google/chromium-focused and not sure if they'd want to change. MDN doesn't seem to do much of this more "fuzzy" content in my experience, but maybe I'm wrong?

Sadly yes... Dinner date with the wife I'm afraid

It was just bit.ly/loadline :)

Let's hope we can re-invigorate that then :) Thanks for sharing!

Hmz that's indeed much lower than I would have expected... Maybe @tunetheweb.com can have a look once he's less busy? 😇

But as a percentage of all sites that use preload (the ~2.5 million):

235,535 / 2,506,138 = 0.09 = 9%
228,895 / 2,506,138 = 0.09 = 9%
so about 18% combined (round up to say 20% for the leftovers that uselessly preload more than 2 resources).

Hope that helps :)

Hm, I think it's more like 20% :) Looking at the raw results (docs.google.com/spreadsheets...).

2,506,138 used preload (~20 of all desktop homepages)
235,535 has 1 unused preload (~1.9% of all desktop homepages)
228,895 has 2 unused preloads (~1.85% of all)

Combined <4% of total (as reported)

MASSIVE thank you to @tunetheweb.com, without whom there would have been no data to write about in the first place!

Barry is consistently one of the kindest and most hardworking people in #webperf (and beyond) and deserves our gratitude!
