Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

But Google's prioritization of page speed in search ranking isn't new, even for mobile. As far back as 2013, Google announced that pages that load slowly on mobile devices would be penalized in mobile search. Google engineer Addy Osmani recently did a great talk about image optimization at Smashing Meets for Speed.

Google has been working for quite some time to speed up its network protocols in order to minimize website response times. After HTTP/2 has fulfilled its task of speeding up HTTP(S) and has become the basis for fast TLS connections, QUIC goes one step further by aiming to replace the TCP transport protocol in the Internet.

De-duplication can prevent multiple copies on disk, but we're out of luck on reducing network costs. This reconfirms observations from the HTTP Archive , published by Steve Souders in 2013. That is unlikely given the need for SRI annotations or the unbecoming practice of speeding up high-traffic sites, but not others.

Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds. In this configuration, the AMI and boot is paravirt (PV), the kernel is making hypercalls instead of privileged instructions, and the system is using paravirt network and storage drivers.
