>the sheer weight of Javascript and DOM work, followed by making more web requests than necessary.
can you (or anyone) put this into quantitative terms? How much are we talking about here? I realize this is a bit off-topic, but the topic is "every byte explained", so I think the people who are interested are in the right place to discuss it.
- Obi_Juan_Kenobi 8y agoYou can see a lot of what's going on with a e.g. DevTools in Chrome. Right click -> inspect You'll want to go to the performance tab, and then record and reload the page (ctrl-shift-e). For me, about 3/4ths of the time is spent 'scripting' which is 'JS and DOM work'. It's not terribly enlightening, though, because all the JS is minified and takes some work to understand.
