3. IT IS AN AMAZING
IDEA AND OFFER…
• Access to information world-‐wide,
24⨉7
• Independent of hardware, software,
ability, or geographical location
• A read/write medium, everybody is
invited to become a creator and not
just a consumer
4. ONE PERSON’S
BEAUTY IS ANOTHER
ONE’S WORRY…
• It is hard to build software and
interfaces for the unknown
• Open distribution, caching and
availability of source code is
anathema to content providers
wanting to protect their content.
• We forgot to find a way to monetise
the web. So we took what was
already available -‐ advertising.
8. http://www.webperformancetoday.com/2015/09/08/deja-vu-all-over-again/
THAT’S A PRETTY
TERRIBLE STATE OF
THE WEB.
• The median page’s time to interact
is 5.5 seconds, and fully loads in just
over 15 seconds.
• The median page is 2MB in size and
contains 170 resources
• Most sites fail to take advantage of
core image optimisation techniques
• A lot is down to advertising and
third party includes (﴾social buttons)﴿
36. LET’S ANALYSE AND
CLEAN UP.
PUT THE WEB ON A
DIET.
ONE OUTDATED
LIBRARY AT A TIME…

41. THE NEXT USERS ARE
NOT THOSE WHO
COMPLAIN THE WEB
IS NOT AS GOOD AS
NATIVE APPS…

45. PLEASE, GO AND
MAKE A BETTER
WEB!
• Analyse the speed of your products
and improve it by simplifying them:
webpagetest.org
• Stop trying to guess what browser is
in use and assume unknown
browsers to be good, not terrible.
• Keep up to date with what browsers
can do: caniuse.com and use it!
• File bugs, report issues, talk to us!
47. THANK YOU!
