I think of a site like Wix that enable anyone to build a website in minutes in a point-and-click interface. Very heavy javascript. A basic template makes it super easy for the 'developer' and the result is huge mess. The landing page I'm looking at loads 102 scripts, 2.0MB 23 fonts and stylesheets, 13.8 second total load time.

It doesn't matter to the devs behind wix because people like me are so few, but I always close wix sites instantly. That's because not only do they load a lot of JS but they load it serially. Each domain requests JS from a new domain and it takes 3+ interactions of noscript + reloading to get anything rendered at all. If they'd just have all the script domains requesting in the first load it'd be fine.
