Web Almanac

HTTP Archive, Nov 14, 2019

As CSS-Tricks reports, "The HTTP Archive dropped this big 'state of the web' report called Web Almanac with guest writers exploring data from 5.8 million websites." According to the website, "The Web Almanac is a comprehensive report on the state of the web, backed by real data and trusted web experts. It is comprised of 20 chapters spanning aspects of page content, user experience, publishing, and distribution." Needless to say, I haven't read it all (though I did read CSS-Tricks' summary of the chapter on CSS, which was quite detailed). The Almanac focuses on quantities, for example, "we (the web as a whole) use 373 KB of JavaScript at the 50th percentile, or median." There are no doubt thousands of nuggets to be mined in the Almanac that talk about web usability and interactivity.
