"Is input type=”date” ready for use in accessible websites?", Graham Armfield (for @jonhassel) #a11y
"The new HTML5 elements can offer so much to improve user experience and provide consistency and accessibility ‘out of the box’ to save developers time. But […] the concepts are currently let down by sloppy, or absent support from the browser and assistive technology manufacturers."
Given the issues I outlined earlier, should we even consider preloading fonts?
I suspect even with Chrome’s current sub-optimal behaviour there’s a case for preloading one or maybe two critical fonts.
But don’t take my word for it, test it for yourself as your traffic mix e.g. Safari vs Chrome, the choice of server and your page make up will influence the outcome:
I tested 26 Chrome extensions to measure their impact on CPU consumption, page download size, and user experience.
Key findings:
Grammarly and Honey are super slow!
The performance impact of individual extensions is usually outweighed by the site being loaded, but they increase power consumption and having many extensions installed adds up
Extension developers can score easy wins by following best practices
Les deux épisodes, la ligue du lol et l'affaire Pénélope Fillon sont liées, car dans les deux cas, nous avions à faire à des pratiques bien ancrées, qui peuvent encore apparaitre comme "normales" au moment où les faits ont lieu. Sauf que la société évolue, et en quelques années, elles deviennent inacceptables aux yeux d'une majorité, et rattrapent les derniers à les avoir pratiquées, en croyant qu'ils pouvaient, en toute tranquillité, reproduire ce qui se faisait avant eux.

tl;dr: There are no silver bullets to web performance. Simple static pages benefit from being server-rendered with minimal JavaScript. Libraries can provide great value for complex pages when used with care.
