I was once asked to debug an extremely slowly loading page. In the first 5 minutes it was evident that the client was doing things it wasn't supposed to do. It was downloading 300MB worth of resources to show the webpage. Incorrect implementations and inefficient use of libraries is the reason why we're seeing a bloated websites all over the web

Incorrect implementations and inefficient use of libraries is the reason why we're seeing a bloated websites all over the web In situations like that, it's right and proper to ask who built the site. Then shake your head with absolute contempt.

- strken 6y agoI've had to fix web apps like that, and no, that's not always right and proper. One example I can give is a tool which loaded 50MB of deeply nested JSON, because when it was written 5 years ago, the payload per item was 80% smaller and the company had 0.1% the number of items. The correct response is to work out who was responsible for maintaining the site for the past five years.
