14kB club: “Amateurs!!!”

https://dev.to/shadowfaxrodeo/why-your-website-should-be-under-14kb-in-size-398n

a 14kB page can load much faster than a 15kB page — maybe 612ms faster — while the difference between a 15kB and a 16kB page is trivial.

This is because of the TCP slow start algorithm. This article will cover what that is, how it works, and why you should care.

I actually read the link and they mention QUIC

there is a notion that HTTP/3 and QUIC will do away with the 14kB rule — this is not true. QUIC recommends the same 14kB rule.

Damn I was actually gonna add more context to my original comment about how QUIC is an overrated in place UDP upgrade for HTTP, but I didn’t wanna open my mouth because I haven’t read the QUIC spec.

Thank you for this lol
