Weekly Platform News: HTML Loading Attribute, the Main ARIA Specifications, and Moving from iFrame to Shadow DOM
Weekly Platform News: HTML Loading Attribute, the Main ARIA Specifications, and Moving from iFrame to Shadow DOM
Apr 17, 2025 am 10:55 AM
This week’s platform news roundup: Chrome introduces a new loading attribute that provides accessibility specifications for web developers, and the BBC’s migration of visualizations to Shadow DOM.
Chrome launches loading attributes
Chrome now supports HTML loading properties for lazy loading images and iframes. You can add loading="lazy" to<mark>延遲加載圖像</mark>and iframe (located below the viewport) and they will not be loaded until the user scrolls nearby.
Google recommends treating this feature as a progressive enhancement, or using it on top of existing JavaScript-based lazy loading solutions.
This feature has not been added to the HTML standard (but there is an open pull request), and its Chrome status page lists multiple links to Google Docs. (From web.dev)
ARIA Specification Overview

Shadow DOM on the BBC website
The BBC has implemented embedded interactive visualization on its website from<iframe></iframe> Migrate to Shadow DOM. This results in a significant improvement in loading performance ("more than 25% faster").
The available Shadow DOM polyfills cannot reliably prevent styles from leaking across Shadow DOM boundaries, so they decided to fall back to the browser that does not support Shadow DOM.<iframe></iframe> .
Shadow DOM [...] can serve content in a similar way to an iframe, in terms of encapsulation, but without negative overhead [...] We want to encapsulate an element whose content will be displayed seamlessly as part of the page. Shadow DOM provides this for us without custom elements.
A major disadvantage of this new approach is that CSS media queries can no longer be used to conditionally apply styles based on the width of the content (because the content is no longer loaded into a separate embedded document).
When using an iframe, media query provides our content width; when using Shadow DOM, media query provides the device itself width. This is a huge challenge for us. We have no way of knowing the size of the content when it is provided.

- The next version of Chrome will introduce the Largest Contentful Paint performance metric; this new metric more accurately replaces the first meaningful drawing, which measures when the largest element in the viewport is rendered (usually the largest image or text paragraph) (from Phil Walton)
- Microsoft has created a prototype of a new tool for viewing web DOM in 3D; this tool is now available experimentally in Edge Preview (from Edge DevTools)
- Tracking protection is enabled by default in Edge preview; it is set to balancing mode by default, which "blocks malicious trackers and some third-party trackers" (from Techdows)

What is 'render-blocking CSS'?
Jun 24, 2025 am 12:42 AM
CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

What is Autoprefixer and how does it work?
Jul 02, 2025 am 01:15 AM
Autoprefixer is a tool that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS attributes based on the target browser scope. 1. It solves the problem of manually maintaining prefixes with errors; 2. Work through the PostCSS plug-in form, parse CSS, analyze attributes that need to be prefixed, and generate code according to configuration; 3. The usage steps include installing plug-ins, setting browserslist, and enabling them in the build process; 4. Notes include not manually adding prefixes, keeping configuration updates, prefixes not all attributes, and it is recommended to use them with the preprocessor.

CSS: When Does Case Matter (and When Doesn't)?
Jun 19, 2025 am 12:27 AM
In CSS, selector and attribute names are case-sensitive, while values, named colors, URLs, and custom attributes are case-sensitive. 1. The selector and attribute names are case-insensitive, such as background-color and background-Color are the same. 2. The hexadecimal color in the value is case-sensitive, but the named color is case-sensitive, such as red and Red is invalid. 3. URLs are case sensitive and may cause file loading problems. 4. Custom properties (variables) are case sensitive, and you need to pay attention to the consistency of case when using them.
