Expectation vs. Reality of Marketing Websites

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Case study of a marketing site that actually ships specifics: uses Next.js middleware to run A/B tests without client‑side layout shift, deploys assets to an edge with an edge runtime and server streaming so banners stream in instead of blocking, and ships image font and script optimizations plus a cache‑invalidation webhook that updates only the banner component. Measures success with the three Core Web Vitals LCP FID CLS, reports 50–100ms fast refresh for local edits and shows the approach reduces layout shift and speeds perceived load.
