The weather content is relevant in that their server would go offline with too many cloudy days.
If their intent is to lower energy consumption of their server alone, offloading this weather check is the correct choice. But surely requesting+caching that info on their end (by perhaps rebuilding the static site every hour with an updated forecast) would be overall more efficient than having X number of clients request the data.
- boomlinde 8y agoAll it amounts to is one additional request, and the json file itself is probably generated by a cron job, not dynamically on demand. Surely rebuilding the website every hour (and invalidating the cache for X number of clients) would result in more requests.
