Here's my attempt at creating a graph that has the total bytes transferred
for a font across the three tested methods:
https://github.com/w3c/PFE-analysis/pull/56/files
Some notes:
- I stuck with the same style graph as used in the percentage graphs as
it lets us easily show distributions. I changed the line colour to blue
since there's no good/bad distinction on this graph.
- I derived the values on the graph by applying the percentage
reductions from the simulation results to the "worst case" woff2 font size
for each language group (the 95th percentile font size).
- This gives an estimate of the amount of bytes that would be
transferred for a font of that size.
- However, there are a couple important caveats:
- % reduction from the simulation is the reduction over a sequence of
page views and is *not representative of the reduction in bytes
transferred for loading a single page*. The reduction for a single
page is likely to be higher than for a sequence of page views.
- Similarly the reduction is the aggregate of all fonts on a given
page. So for something like CJK that means there could be latin or other
language fonts mixed in. Thus the percent reductions *are not
representative of the reductions you'd see for a single CJK font in
isolation*. Again I believe the reduction is actually larger for a
single CJK font on a single page.
- Unfortunately the simulation results were not recorded at the font
level but at the page view level, so there isn't a way to the true per font
reduction percentages out of the results we currently have.
Next up I'm working on generating graphs of the font size distributions.
