This is a free website. How would you make it worth the author’s while to spend more effort to make it more performant?

  It's not about the author, who did well with what was available. The point is that they deserved to build on better fundamentals than JS. We, as a collective, need to recognize and periodically remind ourselves of the burden we're inflicting ourselves and potential newcomers by considering JS good enough (including the billions that have been sunk in the attempt to make it acceptably performant for normal website needs). JS often gets praised for enabling quick development (quite wrongfully, being that mostly the merit of quick interface building granted by HTML and CSS) but rarely we stop and consider what we're giving up by limiting ourselves to such a crappy language and accompanying library stack.
