Smashing Magazine

Smashing Magazine is a long-running online publication for front-end and web-design practitioners, covering CSS, JavaScript, performance, accessibility, and UX through in-depth technical articles. In this spoke it’s the publisher of when-to-block-main-thread by Victor Ayomipo.

As a source it’s a reputable independent technical outlet — practitioner deep-dives rather than vendor marketing or primary research — so its articles sit at T2: stronger than trade-press SEO blog content, below standards bodies and primary data. First appearance in webperf-wiki.
