Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web. Google jokes about SEOs offering GEO-detox services next year. Google's local pack now links to the Places tab and then the pagination breaks. Google Ads overview tab gets custom views and two new metrics: trends and performance by stage. Google Ads now supports Facebook Messenger and Zalo.

I've been thinking about how web apps nowadays seem to pack many features-from dark mode to animations, rich client-side interactions, offline support and more. All of this is great, but I keep wondering: at what point do these extras hurt performance or the user experience? A few things I'm curious about: Do developers here ever delay implementing a "nice extra" because it slows down load time? What metrics or tools do you use to measure whether a feature is "too expensive" in terms of performance (mobile especially)? Are there features you've removed / scaled back after noticing performance issues? How do you decide which features are "must-have" and which are "nice-to-have" when building something new?

I'm using pure HTML and CSS to accomplish all that and to build things in a fraction of the time. Building HTML pages is easy As software engineers, I think we have a tendency to over-engineer things. If you've built web pages recently, you probably used HTML and CSS, but you probably also used a complex framework, over-engineered JavaScript, crazy deployment routines, and more. By contrast, for me, building pure HTML and CSS pages is a breeze and a joy.

Cycling is a sport obsessed with aerodynamics, weight savings, and marginal gains, where bike manufacturers obsess over every gram shaved or watt saved.

We’ve noticed another dip on the metrics this month, particularly on mobile. We are actively investigating this and have a potential reason and fix rolling out to reverse this temporary dip.
