Wow, this website is cool and makes for a fun and very interesting (and telling) comparison between old reddit and the redesign:
https://webtest.app/?url=https://www.reddit.com https://webtest.app/?url=https://www.reddit.com
vs.
https://webtest.app/?url=https://old.reddit.com https://webtest.app/?url=https://old.reddit.com
An order of magnitude increase in page size and energy consumed, and it takes 5 times as long to load, with 5 times the ad requests.
- MisterTea 7y agoGiven the current environmental state, there should be a big push to shame these websites for wasting energy. Perhaps if this happened on a larger scale we'd see better designs produced that don't rely on highly wasteful and inefficient virtual machines that are mistook for web browsers.
- aberforth123 7y agoGood idea. Where do we start this shaming? I don't have the resources.
- noneeeed 7y agoI knew that the new reddit site was terrible (and keeps getting worse), but just under 15mb for a website is insane.
