Meanwhile, the HTTP Archive itself isn’t going anywhere! If you have any burning questions about the state of the web in 2026, you can still add new Wappalyzer detections and custom metrics and add new reports (we encourage you to do so!!). 3/4

In the meantime we’re going to chip away at some automation to try to take some of the manual effort out of the onerous data querying part of the project so we can consider picking it up again at some point in the future. 2/4

We’ve decided to take another break for the Web Almanac this year. This wasn’t an easy call to make, but we feel it’s the right one given the huge effort the project takes and not wanting to half-commit. There’s a lot going on at the moment and we’re all pretty busy and many of you are too. 1/4 🧵

We just added a Core Web Vitals geographic breakdown to the Core Web Vitals tech report when looking at a single technology httparchive.org/reports/tech... Many thanks to @alonko.bsky.social for contributing this!
Table of Core Web Vitals geographic breakdown ordered by number of origins showing how Core Web Vitals differ by country for a particular technology. For many technologies countries like Japan Germany, and the UK have much better Core Web Vitals than other countries like India and Brazil.

I recently published my annual dive into the @httparchive.org, focusing on page growth, #webperf and #ux: www.speedcurve.com/blog/page-bl... A common question is "How big SHOULD my pages be?" According to analysis by @infrequently.org, the ideal page should be <1.4 MB with <365 KB coming from JS.
A table that gives ideal versus actual page size and JavaScript size:

The ideal JS weight is under 365 kilobytes. The actual median JS weight is 650 kilobytes. The actual JS weight at the 90th percentile is 1825 kilobytes.

The ideal total page weight is under 1.4 megabytes. The actual median page weight is 2.6 megabytes. The actual JS weight at the 90th percentile is 11.1 megabytes.
