Hi everyone,
I’ve been exploring HTTP Archive data to better understand how small, interactive sites show up in performance metrics. Some sites look very simple at first glance, but once you interact with them, there’s more going on in terms of requests, JS execution, and client-side logic.
This came up while I was looking at a word puzzle site where the homepage loads quickly, but most of the interaction happens after user input. It made me wonder how well HTTP Archive captures this kind of behavior. Are these sites generally underrepresented in the data since so much work happens client-side?
Curious how others here interpret or categorize sites like this when analyzing trends.
