Before deciding on these very dev-oriented metrics, one should probably define the goals of the site/app. Is it a community site where easy content editing / contributions should be prioritized. Or is this a landing page that should have stellar SEO and load blazing fast. What language / framework am I or my team familiar with. The raw performance metrics should probably come last.
Hi, I'm the author of the blog post and wanted to say that I completely agree with your statement.
I picked these metrics because I find them very useful to explain the differences between the rendering options. I did not mean to say that every website needs to optimize for all of them.
