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.

The video uses the time it currently takes for information to travel from the New York Stock Exchange to a viewer in London to illustrate the advantages that this network could offer. Fortunately we have a reference point: In 2015, a private company unleashed the Hibernia Express Cable, running from New Jersey to England.

When they dug into the data, they found that the reason load times had increased was that they got a lot more traffic from Africa after doing the optimizations. Simulate bad network conditions and slow CPUs and make your project resilient. In May 2015, Vox Media wrote about the slowness of their site and commitment to make them faster.

Because the HTML parser stopped, all network traffic also stopped (because no other HTML tags were parsed to initiate HTTP requests). In late 2015, the median was 10 synchronous scripts and 2 asynchronous scripts. It wasn't just IE7 that did this - all browsers behaved this way back then. Enter the Preloader.
