Looking at the source, the progress bar is completely fake, it really does nothing besides making you wait. It even introduces slight delays to make it look more realistic.
Why? Just why? The worst part is that the site is actually very light, with none of the ads, analytics and resource hog frameworks that are all too common these days. It probably could load almost instantly if it wasn't for that fake progress bar.
Edit: Judging by the other comments, it looks like it is some kind of political statement against Javascript. I disagree with such practices but well, that's his site, his choice.
- ChrisSD 6y agoIt's meant as satire on the needlessly script heavy websites that many people create nowadays. The blog post itself isn't entirely serious either.
- nottorp 6y agoWell, unfortunately for me it resulted into an early page close. I thought someone who uses that much javascript for a page that could have been 100% static can't have anything interesting to say.
- boring_twenties 6y agoJust disable JavaScript, then the page loads instantly and works perfectly :)
