Walk the talk. I spent almost an hour getting my newsletter sign up page to a perfect 100 Lighthouse score on mobile. No functionality sacrificed. Yes, it will sometimes return 99. Yes, the page is just the form. However, it was hovering over high 80s/low 90s for too long. I got the job done.

Why you've been struggling to get a perfect Google Lighthouse score Let's continue with breaking down the PageSpeed Insights. This time - how exactly is the Lighthouse performance score calculated? I bet at least some of you have lost sleep over it. It might have felt like playing a slot machine.

Why PageSpeed Insights (PSI) doesn't serve you well But, first - let's address what PageSpeed Insights is. It's a free web performance analysis tool by Google. The goal? Provide a report on how a webpage performs in terms of speed and user experience.
Poor user experience - according to PageSpeed Insights

Today I'm introducing my new content model - Seasons. A short period of time (usually spanning couple weeks), where content will be almost exclusively dedicated to a single topic. A thread on what Seasons are below ⬇️

Interesting. I bet this will change over time, but I'll take it for now. Great marketing strategy to provide a free ego boost to your users, though. 😅

That didn't take long.

For Google's CWVA what matters is your users' connection. If we look at your aggregate for users from last 28 days. It's 1.4s(!) for 75th %ile. So 2.6-1.4 = 1.2s that is left for parsing/rendering/scripts to have LCP complete. If you can shave 200-300ms off of that, you will be within safe range.

That definitely had a major effect, but part of it also is the TTFB values that drag everything down.

RemoteOK is being penalized by Google for bad user experience. During one of my livestreams, discussing my @levels.io block on X, I discovered that it is failing Core Web Vitals Assessment on mobile. This means RemoteOK likely has lower rankings on Google mobile search due to poor user experience.

Are you guys aware how the 'BlueSky logo emoji' looks like on Windows? It's disturbing me.

I guess my honeymoon phase has come to an end. "Domain verified", yet the handle update went off the script at some point.

I made a poll on the other platform, and it seems people feel discouraged by seeing their impression numbers. Good news - I don't need to worry about it here at all.
