• How does a form like this work? I haven’t linked it to anything and I haven’t coded it to tell it where to send a message where does it go and how do I make it work so it does send a message to my email.

  That is nice! Only issue with using web.dev is they commonly put Chrome only features in their tutorials. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Is there theory on frontends? I'd like to understand how people think about complexity that actually build react, angular etc. so that I can better understand the fundamental issues.

  This is great. Though if you want to go the extra-mile, Google's https://web.dev/ (previously "Google Developers") is similarly the closest you can get to "front-end theory". It covers more advanced topics related to performance, how the render pipeline works, and patterns for architecting front end applications with scalability and performance in mind. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• How to further optimize my website?

  I have a website that is almost done, but I'm having a hard time trying to optimize it further. My points are around 70 (Right now my website is hidden from browsers, so I don't know if that affects the score). I'm using PageSpeed Insights, web.dev, and GTMetrix. Any help?

• What unpopular webdev opinions do you have?

  You should try running Lighthouse on Google's own websites, including https://web.dev/ itself. They often miss the mark on the very guidelines they ask you to follow. TL;DR it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. When in doubt, test with real users and fix real problems instead of focusing on arbitrary metrics. You can use these audits to guide your testing, but a 100 on Lighthouse says nothing about your... - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Benefits from CWV improvements?

  I've got the numbers from web.dev, but looking for a non-google backed source. Specifically looking for something following the "We Fixed X CWV issue and Y happened.". - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• "Most accurate" speed testing tool?

  If you pop over to web.dev, you'll see that Google has a bunch of metrics, more than just a single number score. Some of these are grouped together as "core web vitals", and have ways that you can determine them in the field (using "real user metrics" [RUM] - what they actually saw) as well as "lab tests" (so you can test things on your side). Google uses the real user metrics / field data for core web vitals for... - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Links are not crawlable

  So web.dev throws an SEO error that I have an uncrawlable link, which is an anchor link `` in my menu that houses a drop down menu. I toggle the dropdown menu with `focus-within` and `:hover` in CSS, so is there a way to get around this other than adding `href="#"`? - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago
