And to show you that 280 characters they need to download about 6 kbyte css, 4 kbyte javascript, 17 kbyte Google analytics, 26 kbyte jquery, 1.5 kbyte favicon, and some images... Total about 100 kbytes.
- oneeyedpigeon 8y agoIt's almost as if "they literally just have to show you 280 characters" is a bit of an oversimplification.
- FridgeSeal 8y agoI think the point they were making was that they do all this extraneous stuff as well: if I’m looking at a single tweet, why on earth does it need to serve that much JS up? Why on earth is it not a simple HTML page with the information on it?
