What is wrong with that assumption? I assume a lot of people are starting to browse from cellphones, mobile connections, more foreign places. You wouldn't want stuff to bog down your site, just because there are people who have faster connections.

Not 80% of people.

That's it, really. The rest of this is good stuff. Especially considering it's 7 years old.

Well, I'd also add that adding a blog to a site can accomplish some of what he recommended (like adding a page per day).

Also, using mod_rewrite and clever routing can accomplish things like folder names with keywords.

The core methodology is good. But:

- 5-12k may not be as useful as a guideline as before.

- HTML 4 & JavaScript recommendations may no longer be as valid as they were then.
