Web Front-endCSS TutorialWeekly Platform News: Apple Deploys Web Components, Progressive HTML Rendering, Self-Hosting Critical Resources
This week's web development news covers Apple's adoption of web components, Instagram's innovative script loading, and the benefits of self-hosting critical resources.
Apple Embraces Web Components with Stencil
The new Apple Music web app (beta) leverages both Ember.js and custom web components, like <apple-music-video-player></apple-music-video-player>, built using Stencil. Stencil's efficiency in generating standard web components, coupled with features such as templating, state management, routing, code-splitting, and lazy-loading, contributes to the app's performance. This large-scale deployment by Apple significantly counters arguments against web component adoption.
Apple's production deployment of nearly 50 web components in a major revenue-generating app silences claims that web components are underutilized or solve non-existent problems.

Instagram Optimizes Loading with Chunked Transfer Encoding and Progressive HTML Rendering
Instagram employs HTTP chunked transfer encoding to stream HTML content progressively. This allows the browser to begin downloading scripts and stylesheets concurrently with server-side data generation. JSON data is also streamed using this method, with client-side scripts using Promises to handle data arrival, eliminating the need for XHR requests.
By flushing HTML immediately, the browser can start downloading assets while the server finishes processing dynamic data.

Self-Hosting Critical Resources: A Case Study
The University of Notre Dame improved website loading times (previously exceeding 100 seconds in China) by self-hosting jQuery, instead of relying on Google's CDN. This highlights the potential performance gains from self-hosting critical assets, especially in regions with unreliable CDN access.

How much specificity do @rules have, like @keyframes and @media?Apr 18, 2025 am 11:34 AMI got this question the other day. My first thought is: weird question! Specificity is about selectors, and at-rules are not selectors, so... irrelevant?

mPDF
mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
