Yes, you’re still a retail company. Then there was the need for separate dev, QA, and production runtime environments, each of which called for their own hardware. Overall, it’s the company that moves forward on AI at high speed, driven by a self-confidence that overshoots their horizon of knowledge.

And if that already wasn’t enough, the number of images on a page has been linked to lower conversion rates on retail sites. In this recent test run from our Industry Page Speed Benchmarks , you can see that the Amazon home page ranks fastest in terms of Start Render. Don't assume hardware and networks will mitigate page bloat.

While current network speeds may be enough to meet the latency requirements of 4G applications, 5G will necessitate a change, if only because the continental US is ~60ms wide, meaning that a datacenter on one coast communicating with another datacenter on the opposite coast will be too slow for 5G. These have to communicate with each other.

When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware. I believe this range of mobile hardware will be illustrative of performance across a broad spectrum of device capabilities, even if it’s slightly heavy on the Apple side.
