A surprising number of people aren't aware that the consent banners on their pages hurt #ux and #seo. That's because consent banners delay LCP for a lot of pages.
The result? Your visitors have a slow experience, which sucks for them. And because LCP is a Google search ranking factor, it also sucks for you.
@cliff explains the most common problems – and their workarounds – with measuring #pagespeed with consent managers: https://www.speedcurve.com/blog/web-performance-cookie-consent/
Why did The Guardian take top spot in our Media Page Speed Benchmarks? Because the main image was the fifth request on the page.
Calling the LCP element early seems like a no-brainer, right? Yet too often, I see it called MUCH too late.

0.52% of Chrome users use versions that are 5-10 years old.
Doesn't sound like many people?
There are an estimated 3.5 billion Chrome users worldwide, so that's more than 18 MILLION people.

I recently published my annual dive into the HTTP Archive, focusing on page growth, web performance, and UX: https://www.speedcurve.com/blog/page-bloat-2025/
A common question is "How big SHOULD my pages be?" According to analysis by @slightlyoff, the ideal page should be <1.4 MB with <365 KB coming from JS.
Hey @piccalilli!
I found https://buildexcellentwebsit.es extremely insightful and inspiring! It pushed me to finally completely restructure my personal website’s #CSS, after many years of mess.
I used the awesome https://utopia.fyi to generate the vars, (actually, I am using the SCSS library).
Unfortunately, though, I find the massive use of all those calc() and clamp() functions to be quite heavy in terms of performance… #Lighthouse gave the website a very bad performance score (see screenshot). It even seems that while scrolling the page it lags (
) even if it’s super simple and built with pure #HTML and CSS!
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? 
Thank you so much for all the interesting things you share!
