Don't rely on this non-existent optimization
About this episode
A recent video of mine has made me realize that a lot of people don’t realize that cross-site caching isn’t a thing anymore, so in this episode, I talk about that, as well as how we do still need to optimize things, how great CSS is becoming, and more.
Other awesome stuff around the web:
What I’ve been up to this week:
- Two better alternatives to overflow: hidden
- True parallax with CSS
- These font stacks will improve your site’s performance
