Interoperability
Interoperability is a key goal of standards, but we’ve sometimes fallen short. This chapter will begin providing an annual update to developers about efforts to come together to improve things. It will cover what’s new or improved in terms of interoperability this year, and will provide a means for implementers to measure the impacts over time.

Methodology
Unless otherwise noted, the metrics in all of the 23 chapters of the 2022 Web Almanac are sourced from the HTTP Archive dataset. HTTP Archive is a community-run project that has been tracking how the web is built since 2010. Using WebPageTest and Lighthouse under the hood, metadata about nearly 8.4 million websites are tested monthly and included in a public BigQuery database for analysis. The June 2022 dataset was used as the basis for the 2022 Web Almanac’s metrics. For more information, see the Methodology page.
