If loading a small text page is a hassle... I'm not sure what millennium your connection is in.
- akiselev 10y agoThis millenium maybe? You know, the one when Internet consumption largely switched from computers with wired connections to mobile with wireless ones. The one when all the media companies started jamming tons of javascript and user interface dark patterns down our throats. Madox's site is a "small text page"; the WSJ site, even the mobile version, is a stellar scale monolith in comparison.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoThat "small text page" weighs in around 2.1MB.
- thomasfoster96 10y agoI thought you were referring to the HN page, which is what the comment seems to suggest to me.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoHN is probably small, but often suffers from bad latency.
- thomasfoster96 10y agoDepends on where you are - HN uses cloudflare, so it can be incredibly quick (even on 3G on a mobile) if you hit a cached page.
