By the way, Acid3 is an old test. https://html5test.com/ http://acid3.acidtests.org/ Comment down below what you think. I for one am hella impressed by Microsoft Edge insider's score!
IE mode only for 20H1 insiders?
I asked this in another thread, but I believe this is worth making a new thread over. So I've been seeing reports on other websites that IE mode is now available in dev/canary edge chromium, but if I try it out, it just says I need to update my version of internet explorer. I've also heard that it only works right now with those who are 20H1 insiders. Is that true? Can someone from the development team or someone who is a windows 10 insider shed some light on this confusion?Internet Explorer 11 performance with SPFx
Internet Explorer 11 is still the standard operating environment for many companies which makes the pages with multiple SPFx webparts really slow. Each SPFx webpart by design adds at least 4 cached http requests ( webpart bundle JS file + few other JS libraries like jQuery, Angular & PnP JS ) + Rest/CSOM API for the webpart logic. While all modern browsers can handle that peacefully, IE 11 can't! For a page with 6 SPFx webparts ( ideal home page with multiple tiles ) the resulting number of requests is around 40 ( mostly from browser cache ), again for all modern browsers this loads in less than 2 seconds but for IE11, it takes around 5 seconds, which is not acceptable. Possible solutions: 1 - Bundle webparts JS files but this is not possible for SPFx 1.1 ( on premise SharePoint 2016 ). 2 - Bundle Vendor JS files, while it may be possible to bundle the Vendor JS files but how to configure SPFx to load vendors JS files from common bundle rather than doing separate cached http request for each library. I am wondering if there is any other way to improve the performance of SPFx pages on IE 11.
