Several studies have analysed the accuracy and precision of different web technologies in order to determine their limitations. This paper updates the extant evidence about presentation accuracy and precision of the Web and extends the study of the accuracy and precision in the presentation of multimedia stimuli to HTML5-based solutions, which were previously untested. The accuracy and precision in the presentation of visual content in classic web technologies is acceptable for use in online experiments, although some results suggest that these technologies should be used with caution in certain circumstances. Declarative animations based on CSS are the best alternative when animation intervals are above 50 milliseconds. The performance of procedural web technologies based on the HTML5 standard is similar to that of previous web technologies. These technologies are being progressively adopted by the scientific community and have promising futures, which makes their use advisable to utilizing more obsolete technologies.}, number = {10}, urldate = {2016-02-16TZ}, journal = {PLoS ONE}, author = {Garaizar, Pablo and Vadillo, Miguel A. and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego}, month = oct, year = {2014}, note = {00007}, keywords = {Q1, jcr3.234}, pages = {e109812} }']
