For a moment I thought this was another of the "meh, it uses JS, I want to surf with my Lynx!!!!" rants but wow that page is really slow. I only counted 9 secs for the original page and 11 secs for your link, still ... for a bit of text? Not even an image? What are they doing? setTimeout before they show the HTML?
Edit: opening the same link again is instant. Weird.
- jazoom 10y agoIronically, this page looks like it doesn't even need JS. It's comical how long it took to load.
- dkarapetyan 10y agoLoads instantly for me. Might have something to do with your network or service provider.
- Groxx 10y agoSpinner loads instantly for me. Everything else takes ~10 seconds. I'm on a 250 megabit connection. I haven't seen a page take this long to load in months. Once a particular page is visited, it does load quickly. But for new ones it's always the same experience. Unless they're buckling under load of some kind and this provides a fancy cache, it's pretty ridiculous. --- edit: decided to watch the network on a new page, http://wiki.c2.com/?LiterateProgramming http://wiki.c2.com/?LiterateProgramming for instance. Most everything downloaded in 10s of milliseconds, but the LiterateProgramming XHR request sat waiting for 6.5 seconds. Maybe they are struggling for some reason?
- dkarapetyan 10y agoYou're right. Took a while for me on that one but second time around loaded instantly.
- shakna 10y agoWard switched to using his project, Smallest Federated Wiki, which basically doesn't do a thing without JS. In fact, if I remember correctly, the slow load times are because it loads the entire wiki tree in the background to make linking easier for the engine... But a worse experience for the user.
