At the end of 2021, the Chrome team shipped some functionality that has the ability to make or break sites meeting the Core Web Vitals. So, let’s learn a little bit more about the Back/Forward Cache (aka bfcache), and what you can do to test if your website is compatible with it. Barry Pollard strongly encourage sites to run the Back/Forward Cache test, understand any blockers leading to an unsucc
This Platform Week, we don’t want to deliver on just new and shiny things (though there will be a few of those, too!). We want to deliver on principles. On letting the best solution win. On breaking developers out of lock in: whether because of code, or because of economics

Building infrastructure that can easily recover from outages, particularly outages involving adjacent infrastructure, too often becomes a murky exploration of nuanced fate-sharing between systems. Untangling dependencies and uncovering side effects of unavailability has historically been time-consuming work. A lack of great tooling built for this, and the rarity of infrastructure outages, makes re
When deploying websites, there’s rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. Some websites benefit from server-rendered pages, some prefer statically generating content upfront. In this article, Stefan explains how a CMS such as [Storyblok](https://www.storyblok.com/) can help you make your site more resilient without losing the flexibility to deliver time-relevant content.

In this final post, we will discuss the last theme of the Duplo initiative,…
How difficult can it be to design a bulletproof language selector? It’s not as straightforward as one might think. We need to avoid redirects, decouple our language and country presets, allow for overrides, and use non-modal windows. Can we fix it? Absolutely! We just need to decouple presets, allow for overrides and allow users to specify their intent.

Building load test infrastructure is tricky and poses many questions. How can we identify performance regressions in newly deployed builds, given the overhead of spinning up test clients? To gather the most representative results, should we load test at our peak hours or when there’s a lull? How do we incentivize engineers to invest time…
Performance needs to be built in starting at the code level, and user-centric metrics like time to interactive (TTI), total blocking time (TBT), and first input delay (FID) help you gauge how fast a website is. But modern web pages are heavy and ever-growing in size Introducing Partytown, a lightweight open-source solution that reduces execution delays due to third-party JavaScript by offloading t
