Neither, usually. A lab test like that runs on a simulated device under simulated conditions, from a data center, with an empty cache. Your customers are on real phones — often three years old, on a weak signal, with a dozen tabs open and background apps competing for the processor. That gap is exactly what field data measures, and it's what Google actually uses. Look at the Core Web Vitals report for real-user numbers instead of the lab score. The usual culprit behind a good score and slow reality is JavaScript: it costs a data-center CPU almost nothing to parse and costs a mid-range phone several seconds.

It's the most common way a fixed-price project quietly turns into an open-ended one. A revision round is meant to be a batch: everyone reviews, the notes get collected, one pass applies them all. Drip-feeding turns that into twenty passes, each with its own context-switch, re-review, and redeploy — and the fifth note often contradicts the second, so work gets done and undone. It's slower for the client too, because nothing ever reaches a stable state to react to. The practical fix is a review window: look at the whole thing, sit with it a couple of days, send one consolidated list. That's one round. Everything after is a new one.

Visitors notice more than you'd expect, and the inference isn't kind: a stale copyright year is the fastest available signal that a site is abandoned, which raises the question of whether the business is still operating the way the page describes. Dead links compound it. Fix the year by generating it rather than typing it — it's one line, and it never goes stale again. Then treat the footer as something with an owner: run a link check periodically, remove links to things that no longer exist, and confirm the address and phone still match reality. The footer is the last thing many visitors read before deciding whether to call.

Yes, and it's a nice piece of print styling most sites skip. Inside a `@media print` block you can use a generated-content rule — `a[href]:after { content: " (" attr(href) ")" }` — to print the URL in parentheses after each link's text, so a printed page is self-contained. Scope it carefully: apply it only to links in the body content, not navigation, or you'll print a wall of URLs nobody wants. Skip internal anchors and `mailto:` links too, since those add noise. It's a few lines, and it turns a printout from a document with dead ends into one someone can actually act on.

It does, with a full alpha channel, and for photographic images needing transparency it usually beats PNG substantially on file size. But for a logo specifically, the better question is whether it should be a raster image at all. A logo is vector artwork; ship it as SVG and it's transparent by nature, crisp at every size and pixel density, typically smaller than either raster option, and stylable in CSS. Reach for WebP-with-transparency when you have a photograph with a cut-out subject — that's the case PNG handles badly and WebP handles well. For flat brand marks, SVG is simply the right tool and the conversation stops there.

Because of which properties are being animated, not how much. Animating `width`, `height`, `top`, or `margin` forces the browser to recalculate layout for the affected part of the page on every single frame, then repaint it — that's expensive work at sixty frames a second, and on a mid-range phone the browser simply can't keep up, which you see as stutter. Animate `transform: scale()` and `opacity` instead: those are handled by the compositor without triggering layout or paint, so the same visual effect runs smoothly. Adding `will-change: transform` can help further by promoting the element ahead of time, though it costs memory — use it sparingly, not on every card.
