Intent to Prototype: Document Policy: network-efficiency-guardrails reporting
Luis Flores
Explainer
Specification
Summary
Enables web documents to detect and report resources with unoptimized network usage, to minimize their performance impact. By identifying and flagging resource usage behaviors that can degrade performance, developers gain greater control over the user experience, enabling them to address issues for smoother interactions and improved responsiveness across web documents and applications.
Blink component
Motivation
The user experience of a web document can be impacted by the performance of its embedded resources and iframes. There is currently no mechanism to prevent these resources (and frames in particular) from engaging in behavior that degrades performance, or to flag this behavior, leaving embedding documents with little control over the experience of their users.
