They're referring to loading the scripts right after the opening body tag (rather than at the end of the body), which historically would block content loading until the scripts all load.
- josteink 7y agoBack then scripts literally were 1kb at most and not 15mb like today, so it really wasn’t much of a problem.
- eyelidlessness 7y agoBack then it took ten minutes to load 1kb
- josteink 7y agoIt wasn’t that bad. I remember downloading fairly high res JPEGs (so 30-50kb) on a 36k modem back then, and that might have taken a minute.
