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 🫣 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:

• jQuery, no React - 4.17M sites - 62.2%
• React, no jQuery - 748k sites - 65.5%

The jQuery, no React - is mainly WordPress sites, taking that out of the equation:

• jQuery, no React, not WordPress - 1.75M sites - 72.5%
• jQuery, no React, WordPress - 2.42M sites - 54.8%

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 🫠

If you were about in the days of IE6 then jQuery was an absolute blessing. Chaining was mind blowing too!
