It makes me angry when I see devs intentionally selling snake oil to entrepreneurs

Let me be clear: Any Shopify partner selling "SEO boosters" that cheat lighthouse scores and hurt the buyer experience is violating the AUP&PPP. There will be consequences

You have been warned

Code obfuscation is a strong smell that a dev is trying to hide something dishonest, and is likely hurting your business. Fire that team.

More examples of lighthouse UA sniffing that is actually making things slower:

18% of global Android Chrome users have Lite Mode enabled (aka Save-Data). Digging into the data, I now have more questions than answers. Is this a signal that users want #webperf? Or something else?
(cont…)

@cloudinary

First impression: Save-Data gives users what they want, which is a different quality/performance tradeoff. And with @cloudinary’s q_auto it appears to yield a 10% greater consumption. Yay!

But then why is Lite Mode only at 5% in the Americas, while 30+% in Africa and Asia? Is it:
* intentional, users who want better web performance?
* enabled by default by android manufacturers?
* or just cargo-cult stories we tell, like 'enable dark mode to save battery’?
