Does Your Website Fit on a Floppy?

> 3G HSPA (~1.5Mbit/s): 8 seconds 1.5Mbit/sec is the theoretical maximum output of HSPA. That means people will perceive much less then that. And 3G is something which is still used by people. My mobile phone falls back to 3G whenever there is no better broadcasting signal. Many websites become unusable with slow mobile uplink. That's a terrible state for the web.

  The theoretical maximum of HSPA is 7.2Mbit/sec not 1.5Mbit/sec.[0] [0]: https://kenstechtips.com/index.php/download-speeds-2g-3g-and-4g-actual-meaning https://kenstechtips.com/index.php/download-speeds-2g-3g-and...

  Creator of Fit on a Floppy here, my apologies there is supposed to be a link as to where I sourced those values as per trcarney. Template has been fixed.

I thought it meant the whole website at first. Looks like by website they mean a single webpage and all of the files needed to display it though. (images, css, scripts)

  Yes and it ignores deferred/async files.

This site crashes my iOS 13 Safari browser. When I enter a URL and tap "Go," it says "please enter a URL" once or twice, and then, crashes.

  I can't seem to replicate it on iOS 13 Safari, does it fully crash your browser or just the page stops working? Did you specify the protocol in the URL? I currently use HTML5's URL input, one bit of feedback I get is that it shouldn't require protocol. I will look at changing it.

    I didn't specify the protocol. It did fully crash the app. I'll play with it a little more.

      Oh it is something to do with the HTML5 History API, I will have a look into it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      If you have a chance can you test again? Also do you have the exact version of iOS?

        It's iOS 13.1.3 on an iPhone SE. As of this posting, no longer crashing for me when I input the same domain and choose HTTPS. Thanks! Edit: Also working for HTTP.
