- skrebbel 9y agoYou're the 2692389284th person writing this comment on HN and frankly it gets a bit tiring.
- jackaroe78 9y agoTried to upvote but javascript paywall
- yorwba 9y agoIt loads much faster with JS blocked.
- jakecopp 9y agoThe scrolling and links seem buggy with NoScript & Firefox Quantum for me.
- endless1234 9y agoJS makes up about 300 of the site's 950kB weight. How does it alone contribute to a 30 second load time for you? It is a bit much, but this article is pretty heavy for a 250kbps connection even with just html and images.
- sgdesign 9y agoAre you sure it wasn't just all the images? There's quite a lot of them. Also you can click on each project to show more info, so it's somewhat interactive.
- Sawamara 9y agoThe site took me less than a second to load, and I have a mediocre Pc. Problem is on your end.
- kzrdude 9y agoIt is interactive - you can uncover more info by clicking in the lists.
- joncampbelldev 9y agoNope, javascript is less than 1/4 of this page, time for the "above the fold" render for me (on standard laptop + broadband) is under 0.5 seconds. Please examine other possible causes for a 30 second page load, unless you're running on an 1st gen raspberry pi, 56k modem and a browser with a showstoppingly bad js engine. EDIT, using chrome's dev tools I tried loading with the "slow 3g" preset, rendering of useful textual + hyperlink content took under 10 seconds, images slowly came in after that over a longer period.

- joncampbelldev 9y agoOn a page crammed full of images its alright, they're going to be slowing down the loading of everything. If it were a plain text document and it was only JS loading and parsing that slowed it down then it would indeed be embarrassing. My response is to the person asserting that JS is the reason this page is slow. I'm not making a statement that this is the greatest and fastest loading page on earth.
- ClassyJacket 9y agoHmm, mine was done in four seconds, on my phone.
