I use a similar design for my website, it has been like this for like 10 years now. I still tweak some php 5 code, and things just works on some free hosting.

I use a similar design for my website, it has been like this for like 10 years now. I still tweak some php 5 code, and things just works on some free hosting. The problem with the web is how permissive it is, so it gets bloated, and since online advertising, this trend is still going. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law > is a computing adage which states that software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster. What bothers me is how the web is making it impossible to run on modest smartphone, or how it's burning your battery into oblivion. There might be solutions to this, like basically pre-parsing HTML and sending the parse tree, or re-factoring HTML and css rules into something more lean, or just rebuilding a new document format from scratch that is readable by humans, like markdown as a syntax, and rendering it directly without HTML. We're often reminded about Knuth's "95% of the time", but HTML is really a crying example of a bad designed document format, which turned into a black hole of computing complexity since JS has access to the DOM. Frankly web development disgusts me, and I avoid it as a career path as much as I can. We rely on web browsers and search engines way too much.
