Yes, you can put me down for writing the queries for this chapter. I'll let someone else pick up #21.

@khempenius @henrisgh @paulcalvano @flowlabs we're hoping to have the list of metrics for each chapter finalized today. There are only 3 metrics listed for this chapter at #20 (comment). Could you take one last look and when you think it's in a good place tick the last TODO checkbox and close this issue? Thanks!

Also @henrisgh could you please go to https://github.com/HTTPArchive and accept your invitation to the Authors team? This ensures that you get author-specific communications, I can assign issues to you, and you can edit issues like this one.

TLDR; I'll take care of updating & closing this issue. For those curious below was my thought process on this:

I thought the entire analysis and writeup was due today so these were the metrics I ended up already calculating:

• Distribution of resource size: (p10, p25, p50, p75, p90) x (total, JS, CSS HTML, Fonts). In addition, how this has changed over the past year.
• Distribution of resource quantity: (p10, p25, p50, p75, p90) x (total, JS, CSS HTML, Fonts). In addition, how this has changed over the past year and since the release of H2.

I found that the number of CSS & JS resources has increased moderately since H2's release, but I don't think that's enough to draw a conclusion from (It is it H2? Or is it just sites getting larger?)

If we wanted to go deeper on this H2 detail (this is interesting, but I don't think it's essential to talking about page weight), I would propose these metric(s):

• Determine which sites serve the majority of their first-party content using H2. (This % alone would be interesting. I also wonder if there would be a significant difference between using .5 and .9 as the threshold.)
• For those sites using H2, look at how CSS & JSS resource quantities varied before and after H2 adoption

No just the metrics are due today 😅 See this timeline for a better idea of when everything comes together.

Thanks for closing this out Katie!

We do have historical data but no guarantee that the pre-H2 data exists for a given page. The URL corpus thrashed quite a bit over the last year as we transitioned from Alexa to CrUX. So these results might be inconclusive.

Two other things came to mind:

If you're interested in writing the queries for this chapter, can I also add you to the Data Analyst team? Would you also be interested in writing the queries for #21?

In case you have an early draft ready to go, that might actually be helpful as a placeholder for the UX teams to start exploring data viz and other design options. Would you be open to sharing what you have so far?

Great thanks! Added you as an editor to the Metrics Triage sheet and put your name down for this chapter's metrics. More info about triaging in #33.
