Clients treating scroes and advices from Google PageSpeed Insights as bible... Do I need to say more?

Google is violating more than half of their own rules anyway.

Average web devs are so glaringly incompetent that you just HAVE to call out their shit using tools like PageSpeed and GTmetrix.

Even better is of course tying payment to agreed minimum scores so that these idiots don't get paid if they screw up like usually.

@jurion that's probably because your page does infinite loading so that it's technically never fully loaded even when it appears so. I get a load time of under a second and 100% score in Pagespeed.

What's your scores on Gtmetrix.com?

@jurion ah yeah tracking stuff hogging down a website is really common, ironically enough even Google's. That's why adblockers. Astonishing that the marketing team hasn't heard about bounce rate vs. load time.

Btw., I get 100/99 on Gtmetrix although it's from Vancouver and I'm on shared hosting in Iceland. ^^ But no trackers.

@jurion woah, that means 80% of the loaded data are just marketing junk?! I'd bet that marketing would be unable to show clear benefits of what they're doing.
