Goals

1. Quantify the impact of third party scripts on the web.
2. Identify the third party scripts on the web that have the greatest performance cost.
3. Give developers the information they need to make informed decisions about which third parties to include on their sites.
4. Incentivize responsible third party script behavior.
5. Make this information accessible and useful.

Methodology

HTTP Archive is an inititiave that tracks how the web is built. Twice a month, ~4 million sites are crawled with Lighthouse on mobile. Lighthouse breaks down the total script execution time of each page and attributes the execution to a URL. Using BigQuery, this project aggregates the script execution to the origin-level and assigns each origin to the responsible entity.

NPM Module

The entity classification data is available as an NPM module.

const {getEntity} = require('third-party-web')
const entity = getEntity('https://d36mpcpuzc4ztk.cloudfront.net/js/visitor.js')
console.log(entity)
//   {
//     "name": "Freshdesk",
//     "homepage": "https://freshdesk.com/",
//     "categories": ["customer-success"],
//     "domains": ["d36mpcpuzc4ztk.cloudfront.net"]
//   }

Updates

2019-02-01 dataset

Huge props to WordAds for reducing their impact from ~2.5s to ~200ms on average! A few entities are showing considerably less data this cycle (Media Math, Crazy Egg, DoubleVerify, Bootstrap CDN). Perhaps they've added new CDNs/hostnames that we haven't identified or the basket of sites in HTTPArchive has shifted away from their usage.

2019-03-01 dataset

Almost 2,000 entities tracked now across ~3,000+ domains! Huge props to @simonhearne for making this massive increase possible. Tag Managers have now been split out into their own category since they represented such a large percentage of the "Mixed / Other" category.

2019-05-06 dataset

Google Ads clarified that www.googletagservices.com serves more ad scripts than generic tag management, and it has been reclassified accordingly. This has dropped the overall Tag Management share considerably back down to its earlier position.

2019-05-13 dataset

A shortcoming of the attribution approach has been fixed. Total usage is now reported based on the number of pages in the dataset that use the third-party, not the number of scripts. Correspondingly, all average impact times are now reported per page rather than per script. Previously, a third party could appear to have a lower impact or be more popular simply by splitting their work across multiple files.

Third-parties that performed most of their work from a single script should see little to no impact from this change, but some entities have seen significant ranking movement. Hosting providers that host entire pages are, understandably, the most affected.

Some notable changes below:

Third-Party	Previously (per-script)	Now (per-page)
Beeketing	137 ms	465 ms
Sumo	263 ms	798 ms
Tumblr	324 ms	1499 ms
Yandex APIs	393 ms	1231 ms
Google Ads	402 ms	1285 ms
Wix	972 ms	5393 ms

Data

Summary

Across top ~4 million sites, ~2700 origins account for ~57% of all script execution time with the top 50 entities already accounting for ~47%. Third party script execution is the majority chunk of the web today, and it's important to make informed choices.

How to Interpret

Each entity has a number of data points available.

1. Usage (Total Number of Occurrences) - how many scripts from their origins were included on pages
2. Total Impact (Total Execution Time) - how many seconds were spent executing their scripts across the web
3. Average Impact (Average Execution Time) - on average, how many milliseconds were spent executing each script
4. Category - what type of script is this

Third Parties by Category

This section breaks down third parties by category. The third parties in each category are ranked from first to last based on the average impact of their scripts. Perhaps the most important comparisons lie here. You always need to pick an analytics provider, but at least you can pick the most well-behaved analytics provider.

Overall Breakdown

Unsurprisingly, ads account for the largest identifiable chunk of third party script execution.

Hosting Platforms

These scripts are from web hosting platforms (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc). Note that in this category, this can sometimes be the entirety of script on the page, and so the "impact" rank might be misleading. In the case of WordPress, this just indicates the libraries hosted and served by WordPress not all sites using self-hosted WordPress.

Libraries

These are mostly open source libraries (e.g. jQuery) served over different public CDNs. This category is unique in that the origin may have no responsibility for the performance of what's being served. Note that rank here does not imply one CDN is better than the other. It simply indicates that the libraries being served from that origin are lighter/heavier than the ones served by another.

Future Work

1. Introduce URL-level data for more fine-grained analysis, i.e. which libraries from Cloudflare/Google CDNs are most expensive.
2. Expand the scope, i.e. include more third parties and have greater entity/category coverage.

FAQs

I don't see entity X in the list. What's up with that?

This can be for one of several reasons:

1. The entity does not have references to their origin on at least 50 pages in the dataset.
2. The entity's origins have not yet been identified. See How can I contribute?

What is "Total Occurences"?

Total Occurrences is the number of pages on which the entity is included.

How is the "Average Impact" determined?

The HTTP Archive dataset includes Lighthouse reports for each URL on mobile. Lighthouse has an audit called "bootup-time" that summarizes the amount of time that each script spent on the main thread. The "Average Impact" for an entity is the total execution time of scripts whose domain matches one of the entity's domains divided by the total number of pages that included the entity.

Average Impact = Total Execution Time / Total Occurrences

How does Lighthouse determine the execution time of each script?

Lighthouse's bootup time audit attempts to attribute all toplevel main-thread tasks to a URL. A main thread task is attributed to the first script URL found in the stack. If you're interested in helping us improve this logic, see Contributing for details.

The data for entity X seems wrong. How can it be corrected?

Verify that the origins in data/entities.json5 are correct. Most issues will simply be the result of mislabelling of shared origins. If everything checks out, there is likely no further action and the data is valid. If you still believe there's errors, file an issue to discuss futher.

How can I contribute?

Only about 90% of the third party script execution has been assigned to an entity. We could use your help identifying the rest! See Contributing for details.

Thanks

A huge thanks to @simonhearne and @soulgalore for their assistance in classifying additional domains!

Updating the Entities

The domain->entity mapping can be found in data/entities.json5. Adding a new entity is as simple as adding a new array item with the following form.

{
    "name": "Facebook",
    "homepage": "https://www.facebook.com",
    "categories": ["social"],
    "domains": [
        "www.facebook.com",
        "connect.facebook.net",
        "staticxx.facebook.com",
        "static.xx.fbcdn.net",
        "m.facebook.com"
    ]
}

Updating Attribution Logic

The logic for attribution to individual script URLs can be found in the Lighthouse repo. File an issue over there to discuss further.

Updating the Data

The query used to compute the origin-level data is in sql/origin-execution-time-query.sql, running this against the latest Lighthouse HTTP Archive should give you a JSON export of the latest data that can be checked in at data/YYYY-MM-DD-origin-scripting.json.

Updating this README

This README is auto-generated from the templates lib/ and the computed data. In order to update the charts, you'll need to make sure you have cairo installed locally in addition to yarn install.

# Install `cairo` and dependencies for node-canvas
brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib
