THE FASTEST SITE IN THE TOUR DE FRANCE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

An analysis of the web performance of bike manufacturer websites participating in the 2025 Tour de France was done using a proprietary CrRRUX score based on Core Web Vitals. Merida, Factor, and Giant were the fastest, while Ridley, Orbea, and Trek ranked the slowest, showing a disconnect between brand prestige and website speed. The analysis also went into the technical aspects of each site, highlighting issues like render-blocking resources, client-side rendering, and unoptimized images.
