On ne peut améliorer que ce que l’on mesure, et cette mesure doit être fiable."

"Nobody likes to wait for web pages to load in the browser. The longer it takes, the more dissatisfied the users become. Slow web pages lead to a higher bounce rate and the loss of customers. To solve this kind of problems can be very hard sometimes. Before you even start to optimise your page, you have to understand the workflows a browser performs in order to display a page on the screen."

Typography on the web matters because typography matters.

• Make sure said navigation menu is next in focus order after the button that opens/closes it.
• Never sacrifice usability in the pursuit of JavaScript-free solutions. It’s vanity.
