ms. liz<p>How browsers REALLY load Web pages</p><p>&gt; This talk is a deep dive into how browsers decide when to load a specific resource, and some ways in which you can influence them to modify their behaviour (so you can make sure that important LCP image is definitely one of the first things to come in!). We will look at A LOT of different waterfalls and discuss why each looks the way it does, why browsers often make different decisions, and how to solve common problems <a href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4852-how-browsers-really-load-web-pages" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event</span><span class="invisible">/fosdem-2025-4852-how-browsers-really-load-web-pages</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>webDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a></p>

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:<p>Since 25 years, there is a big conference on Open Source and Free Software in Europe that couldn't share the list of participants with authorities, even if they wanted to.
