- DogRunner 6y agoBecause: medium.com ...
- jasonv 6y agoI thought you were exaggerating. You weren't.
- fabian2k 6y agoIt's slightly faster than 6 seconds for me, but not much. The initial response for the html page already seems incredibly slow at around 500-1000ms. And then it does seem like there's at least a whole second worth of JS being executed before the site is actually loaded.
- SilasX 6y ago- Hypertext blog post with some pictures that takes six seconds to load. - Exchange that crashes during any time of high volume. "Here is why, in our superior engineering judgment, you should do things the way we do in order to preserve uptime." (To answer you question, probably because it uses the Medium code.)
- guessmyname 6y ago> This isn't really about the article, but why does it take 6 seconds to load the page Because the website is hosted on Medium.com and they make heavy use of lazy image loading. It took ±8 secs to load for me, content was visible after 6 secs: https://i.imgur.com/6A09CDS.png https://i.imgur.com/6A09CDS.png To be fair, I’ve visited websites that continue loading stuff for +3 minutes, Coinbase’s blog is lightweight in comparison.
