>I'm going to put each site through WebPageTest to gather the data on Chrome Canary on a Moto G4 with a 3g connection.

I guess the results would be very different when using 4g? and that the real problem is that the author is using a unrealisticly slow connection.

4g wouldn't change the main thread issues.

Also, it's a mistake for developers to assume that everyone is on 4g, and that those on 4g are experiencing good speeds.

Even in London, if you're at a train station that's hit by delays, connectivity grinds to a halt as everyone starts looking for alternative transport.

In the big cities in India, 4g is pretty much always like that.

Where on earth do you live where 3G is "unrealistic?"
