A Gaussian blur in Canvas 2D takes 280ms. The same filter with WebGPU: 8ms.

I wrote the second article in the WebGPU series: image processing in the browser with WGSL shaders and real benchmarks.

Waterfall Viewer

Nouvel outil de visualisation (si vous avez déjà des traces) : waterfall-tools.com, par le créateur de Webpagetest lui-même.
Ça lit tout : des HAR produits par chrome et firefox aux JSON en sortie de webpagetest en passant par tcpdump.

There's something quite exciting happening with AVIF and progressive rendering.

Some recent patches let you provide custom 'frames' as progressive passes, so you can provide e.g. smaller blurry versions of the full image to use as a progressive pass.

A JSON file representing a source map. The code contains:

{
  "version": 3, // Always the integer 3
  "file": "out.js", // Optional: name of the generated file
  "sourceRoot": "", // Optional: prefix prepended to each entry in "sources"
  "sources": ["foo.js", "bar.js"], // Required: list of original source URLs/paths (or null)
  "sourcesContent": [null, null], // Optional: inlined source text, aligned with "sources"
  "names": ["src", "maps"], // Optional: symbol names referenced by "mappings"
  "mappings": "A,AAAB;;ABCDE", // Required: encoded mapping data (base64-VLQ deltas)
  "ignoreList": [0] // Optional: indexes into "sources" considered "third-party"
}

Source maps are a vital part of modern web development, but the lack of a standard made it impossible for us to add new features or improve the debugging experience.

This is the story of how we standardized source maps and how we continue to ship features through standards 📜

How do you measure when a component is “ready”? ⏱️

LCP is too global; Element Timing is too specific.

🛠️ I’ve been working with Bloomberg on a new #webperf API: Container Timing. Think of it as “LCP for a web component”, providing aggregated paint timing for a subtree.

très juste, mais ce qu'a voulu tester l'auteur, c'est une question qu'on a tous : le PNG est en quelque sorte inerte une fois rendu, mais un SVG, ça reste un truc vivant dans le DOM, qui l'a alourdit, et qui donc peut gêner l'interprétation au moment où JS en a besoin

2 months ago 0 0 0 0

une image, c'est des pixels déjà tout fait, le temps de décodage est minime pour des dimensions d'affichage classiques.
Un SVG, c'est d'abord du code à interpréter, quelques calculs à faire. Ça pourrait, en théorie, prendre plus de temps processeur pendant que tu cliques sur la page

Un SVG complexe alourdit il la page ? Comparaison avec le PNG

En résumé :
- jusqu'à 2 Mo de code, le SVG est plus léger que sa conversion en PNG.
- l'INP avec un SVG dans la page est équivalent au PNG, jusqu'à 400 Ko de code SVG.

Screenshot of a performance trace in Chrome DevTools with a few additional "Nav*" and "LCP*" markers. Hovering over the "LCP*" shows this is a "Soft LCP" and in the Summary panel when you click on it you see "Soft Largest Contentful Paint" and a "Learn more about Soft Largest Contentful Paint" link.

From Chrome 145 (on general release next week!), DevTools we will start to show so called "soft" navigations and "Soft LCP" in the Performance Panel traces.

These are for SPAs which don't do a full page load, but instead "fake it" by updating the current page and pushing a new history entry.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2026 - Infrequently Noted Embedded in this year's network and device estimates is hopeful news about the trajectory of devices and networks. It has never been easier to deliver pages quickly, but we are not collectively hitting the mark. Indeed, the latest CrUX data shows not even half of origins have passing Core Web Vitals scores for mobile users. Browsers will need to provide stronger incentives. This will be unpopular, but it is clearly necessary.
