> "Time to interactive" and "time to first byte" are pointless numbers if the purpose of your site They matter for SEO. > "Time to human satisfaction" should be a number that front-end developers measure and aim to improve. Satisfaction varies. TTI is a relevant metric. E.g. On our ecommerce it takes less than 10 seconds to load the entire page (sub 5 for most pages), but then the user can literally do nothing till all hydration has happened and executed which is simply not a great experience. Our users, if using the website through slower connections/devices are looking at 40 seconds + delays before they can do anything meaningful, that's unacceptable. |

I can't tell if you're gloating about this or agreeing that these numbers are unacceptable.
Let's say it's a product page. You should be able to have the product title, description, and images (in the sense of <img> tags) load with the page instantly. If you need to do dynamic stuff like have a T-shirt size and color picker which changes what options are available based on stock or something like that, that functionality can be added to the page after the initial load, but nothing that doesn't have to be dynamic should be dynamic.
Do you disagree with this?
