Oh didn't think of that, I don't tend to use it. prefers-color-scheme work ok, or you prefer to toggle ( would like to minimise the interface if I can ).
lol, thanks ๐ซฃ forgot to put a link text, so it just loaded back here...
Forgot to put a link to our site, you can read the report and more details here https://theweb.report/
Ran some numbers - Core Web Vital pass rates:
The jQuery, no React - is mainly WordPress sites, taking that out of the equation:
So outside WordPress, jQuery sites pass more often than React sites.
INP is where React is worse. INP is the responsiveness metric. 95% of jQuery sites have good INP, against 87% of React sites. Probably the cost of large JS bundles hydrating on load, whereas a small jQuery script costs relatively little.
And there's a small group of sites that run both, and predictably perform the worst of the lot with 41.8% pass rate.
It's not something we measure ( yet ) but does seem there's a lot of simple brochure site that really just don't need react, pre-rendering and a lot of the complexity that comes with it, but maybe that's a developer convenience / preference.
Yeah be interested to see if WordPress's share drops over time. Is painful to optimise a custom theme, light vanilla JS then some plugin enqueues the bloat right back in ๐ซ
If you were about in the days of IE6 then jQuery was an absolute blessing. Chaining was mind blowing too!
I visited the homepages of the 14.8 million sites in Google's Chrome UX Report in October.
I thought jQuery would be dead, but it's still on 53.7% of sites, and it seems to be tied quite tightly to the platform. Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites, WordPress on 84.9%. For contrast, React is on 10.6% of sites.
jQuery helped me get into web development, and I guess it still gets the job done even if redundant with browser standards these days...
