Interested in how the modern web works? Think #webperf is important? Then check out my book “HTTP/2 in Action” with @ManningBooks at manning.com/books/http2-in… And if you’ve ever considered writing a book then check out the story behind the book at tunetheweb.com/blog/writing-a… #http2

Don't suppose anyone in my circle knows anyone working at X engineering? Need to discuss a potential issue preventing some users from Chrome 146 logging in. @XDevelopers @engineering

Is there anything more frustrating in the world that trying to create a child's @EA games account? Inconsistent login options (Google sometimes appears, sometimes doesn't), you need a desktop app not a mobile app, you can't login using EA ID online, but can't set an email. Sigh…

So @ryanflorence had a good chat with @mmocny on this yesterday, but for the rest of you out there here's some things to know. INP measures (as much as possible) from the moment you interact (click a button, type a key...etc) until the pixels actually update. 🧵 1/12

I have no idea why, but it is consistently over 20ms for me. Makes me wonder if I actually understand what INP really is.

We’re investigating an issue with PageSpeed Insights. Will get it working again soon…
