I feel like it's always been like that.
Websites in the 90s were slow, too. They did a lot less, but the tech was worse.
Now everything is faster but we push things to the limit and make everything slow again.
I must say that every once in a while I visit this website I made in 2007 and it's super-fast, though.
- wmnwmn 9y agoI've noticed a, er, noticeable worsening in the past year. I used to enjoy doing things on the web, but now no matter what I try to do, whether book travel or watch a news video, it turns into a slog of waiting for pages that won't load, or won't stop loading junk, endless "TLS handshakes" and loading things from Cloudflare, etc etc.
- nkkollaw 9y agoAre you sure it's not your browser (ad blocker, spyware, etc.)?
- mars4rp 9y agohow ad blocker can hurt the speed? I was under impression that by blocking some loads it makes it way faster.
- nkkollaw 9y agoNo idea. By blocking legit scripts. Disabling all extensions would be the second step I'd take, though, after having made sure that there is no malware or app using up all bandwidth.
- muzani 9y agoConnection speed in the 90s ran on about 3kbps. Connection speed now is about 3MBps. It's still more than 10x better, but browsers now eat all your RAM and still don't get there.
