To reiterate threeseed’s point: the user wants the website to work well and work efficiently. They don’t care if it’s HTML or an interactive app. In a lot of cases, the web works better when pages are served as plain static HTML.
- andykx 7y agoSure, a simple marketing site for a local restaurant can work with only HTML and CSS, but practically all of the top 20 most popular sites would cease to function without JS.
- prirun 7y agoWebsites also work better, IMO, when every page doesn't use remote resources on 10 different domain names hosted by 3rd-party vendors. This is one of the reasons I use Vultr instead of Digital Ocean: instead of locally hosting their own JS pages, DO uses 3rd-party services. (Maybe they don't have a choice if the 3rd party requires it.) Whereas with Vultr, I only had to enable one or 2 domain names and the whole site worked. It's a much better experience for the user IMO.
