Open question... suggestion to download and host locally in the thread suggesting it.

What exactly does that mean?

I think they mean that https://unpkg.com is sometimes a bottleneck - so the rest of your site has loaded but you're waiting on the library to download from their CDN, causing layout shift ( or whatever it does ).

It's jsDelivr as an alternative.

Thanks for the context, @KianNH!

From looking at Lighthouse testing comparisons, it seems like there isn't any bottleneck. Once this goes live though, I'll keep an eye out and be ready to test other solutions as needed.

Just closing the loop here, @KianNH, had to adjust the script slightly in #5338 , but it looks like it's good now

The joys of webperf 🫠

When are we getting Early Hints too? :^)

[kodster28]

Oooh, good suggestion. Getting the Pages team to flip the switch for us (they're working on integrating them into Pages by default).

[KianNH]

I’m excited for it! I released a Worker to add them with HTMLRewriter and Obinna made a Pages plug-in from it - now we just need @WalshyDev to make it native ;)

Enabled for docs and coming soon to a Pages site near you :^)

What's the go-to for handling files with hashes in their name?

i.e the docs site has no link headers right now so there'll be no 103 responses but the JS uses a hash in the filename for cache busting

Can you add those to the _headers file post-build command and Pages will be fine with that? Guess we'd also want the littlefoot package in there too

Yep. As long as they're there when we read the file (at publish step) it's all cool

[KianNH]

Maybe I'll PR something that isn't R2 or Workers for once
