Read the original blog post. The slower devices are the biggest devices some parts of the world rely on because they can’t afford anything better. This makes them excluded from the “modern” web.
I did. The author talks about both and associates one with the other. It really only talks about 2 factors: web page size and CPU utilization. And that CPU speed hasn’t out paced web page bloat. And then uses the data table to try and prove the point.
I’m not denying that low end devices can have trouble browsing the web. I have issue with the claim that CPU performance hasn’t scaled with web page bloat because there are far more factors than just CPU performance and web page bloat in the tests, such as: everything else running on the device (OS, other apps, etc) RAM speed and size, storage speed and size (hopefully doesn’t come into play but you never know), network connectivity strength, etc.
It’s not even close to an “all else equal” type of testing.
