If implemented correctly using the hash bang method can increase the amount of articles people read per visit. For every article a user reads they also get more advertising. It's a clear win for gawker if people read more content.
Faster because each article the browser has to load after the first one is smaller then a whole page load.
Unfortunately, gawker failed at the technical implementation in spectacular fashion. Though, they do seem to be turning the ship around.
- benologist 15y agoIf your site is designed correctly the non-content crud isn't a massive burden for the user to download it's just some small portion of a gzipped total, and assets are cached after the first view.
- voidfiles 15y agoFollowing your logic, if you cache your ajax request's properly it's even smaller then doing a whole page load.
