Every embedded video comes with a real cost to page load performance. Each player loads extra resources, whether the user ever hits play or not, as Chris Coyier noted in his blog post on "YouTube Embeds are Bananas Heavy and it's Fixable". The approach of using in that article works well when the video appears further down on the page and loads outside of the initial viewport. If the video is directly in the initial viewport, it can still cause a cumulative layout shift (CLS).

Welcome to The CSS Selection 2026! In this article we're having a look at how CSS is used at scale on over 100,000 websites. We'll look at what things are common on most websites and discover interesting outliers. This is the first edition of what I hope to be many, so this is meant as a baseline for future editions, setting up the first numbers to compare with in coming years.

Good morning, programs! Today I'm sharing yet another example of Chrome's on-device AI features, this time to demonstrate a "Bluesky Sentiment Dashboard". In other words, a tool that lets you enter terms and then get a report on the average sentiment for posts using that word. I actually did this before (and yes, I forgot until about a minute ago) last year using Transformers.js: Building a Bluesky AI Sentiment Analysis Dashboard.

Web development is an ever-evolving industry. That means we're constantly adapting to what's new, all while maintaining quality and efficiency. No sooner are we comfortable with something than it changes on us. This applies to our workflow just as much as it does to other parts of our business. The way we build websites must align with modern best practices. The good news is that you don't have to scrap your tried-and-true processes. Rather, it's about adjusting to your project's needs.

The Role As a Full Stack Engineer with expertise in .NET and Vue, you'll take on a hands-on role in building web applications while working vertically in both the frontend and the backend. Your responsibilities will involve designing, developing, and fine-tuning web applications, using .NET 6+, MediaTR, EF.Core and VueJS 2/3 to create engaging and user-friendly interfaces. You'll work closely with the client's team to deliver a solution that meets their requirements.

"Link rot" is the unfortunate phenomenon whereby online articles become populated by broken links - URLs that once led to active pages but now result in error messages or dead ends. A Pew Research study from 2024 showed that nearly 40% of links that existed in 2013 were no longer active. Such "digital decay" occurs across a broad diversity of webpages, from news and government sites to Wikipedia pages to tweets.

By AI website builders have stopped being a novelty. They're tools now. Real ones that save hours of work and produce sites that don't look like templates from 2015. The tech got good enough that you can describe your business in a few sentences and have a working site in under an hour. No coding. No template hunting. The AI handles structure, writes copy, picks colors, and suggests images.

There are a bunch of browser extensions that do this already (eg Redirect Path from Ayima is one I see a lot in screenshots, and CSP is very different from redirects, so I don't understand the connection). I don't recall a time when I ran into something like this causing SEO issues which weren't also visible to average users in their browsers.

The web is full of AI assistants that appear to understand application UIs, user data, and intent. In practice, however, most of these systems operate outside the application itself. When you try to build one from scratch, you quickly run into a core limitation: large language models have no native understanding of your React state, component hierarchy, or business logic.

Can you formulate the css code to apply the glassmorphism (GM) effect b/g to the tasks below: Glassmorphism code snippet background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2); backdrop-filter: blur(5px); border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1); 1.1 Apply the GM effect to the Share B/G, Gallery B/G & Vid B/G icons during onmouseout. 1.2 Apply the GM effect to the Social icons pop-up panel B/G during onmousehover on the Share icon.

As a contracting front-end developer and Design Systems consultant, I don't always get to work on new things. Sometimes I work within codebases. Sometimes alongside them. Sometimes these codebases are years and years old. When you dive into these projects, you're not just reading code, you're excavating years of decisions, technological limitations, and creative workarounds from days gone by. Over the last decade, I've called this Front-End Archaeology.

We're looking for a creative and self-sufficient Front-End Developer who loves building exceptional user experiences using the Vue ecosystem. You'll join a cross-functional team working on a complex, modular platform that combines SSR apps, embedded widgets, and AI-powered features. If you thrive in an environment where challenges appear daily - and you enjoy turning chaos into clarity - this is your place.

After searching and searching, it seems that you and I are the only ones in the world who have this problem. In the F12 console, I found: SEC7113 "CSS was ignored due to mime type mismatch". Discussion here: MSDN. It seems that IE9 and above "sniff" the HTTP headers for the correct MIME type, and ignore JS and CSS that have the wrong header. When it fetches files from the local filesystem, it should disable this sniffing, since there aren't any real HTTP headers. But our two computers, (and nobody else's) are sniffing and ignoring headers.

Slow pages frustrate visitors, increasing bounce rates and reducing conversions, while fast-loading sites enhance engagement, mobile experience, and revenue potential. Page load improvement involves compressing files, caching assets, and minimizing code, all contributing to performance gains that retain users and satisfy search algorithms. Beyond technical tweaks, user-centric strategies such as lazy loading and prioritizing above-the-fold content ensure visitors experience immediate value without waiting for every element to render.

Anytime an exciting new web technology starts to land in browsers, developers want to know "when in the world am I going to be able to use this?" Currently, the finalized syntax for Grid Lanes is available in Safari Technology Preview. Edge, Chrome and Firefox have all made significant progress on their implementations, so it's going to arrive sooner than you think. Plus, you can start using it as soon as you want to with progressive enhancement.

Overlooking how important a brief is will start your collaboration with a web development agency in London off on the wrong foot. A brief not only communicates what you're looking to build, but it also aligns everyone's expectations, mitigates delays and limits the amount of revisions required. Whether it's an e-commerce site launch, a branding overhaul or tweaking a few pain points, the guidance you provide will directly influence your website from day one.

It took Rebecca Yu seven days to vibe code her dining app. She was tired of the decision fatigue that comes from people in a group chat not being able to decide where to eat. Armed with determination, Claude, and ChatGPT, Yu decided to just build a dining app from scratch - one that would recommend restaurants to her and her friends based on their shared interests.

CSS Grid Lanes adds a whole new capability to CSS Grid. It lets you line up content in either columns or rows - and not both. This layout pattern allows content of various aspect ratios to pack together. No longer do you need to truncate content artificially to make it fit. Plus, the content that's earlier in the HTML gets grouped together towards the start of the container. If new items get lazy loaded, they appear at the end without reshuffling what's already on screen.

When I was a kid, there used to be a Museum railway station in Melbourne, Australia. In 1995, it changed its name to match the shopping center above it - a microcosm of how the mentality of my home city has shifted - but Sydney still has a Museum station. The aesthetics of Sydney's Museum Station evoke London Underground vibes as my train from Sydney Airport stops under Hyde Park, the oldest public park in Australia and the first to be named after its more
