No, and here's why: HN's page makes so few requests I can count them on one hand. Compare that to a typical website and you'll see a different story. For exam

No, and here's why:
HN's page makes so few requests I can count them on one hand.
Compare that to a typical website and you'll see a different story. For example:
The main website of my employer makes 86 requests which takes 7.13s to load. But with some clever resource deferring/ordering I've been able to get the DomContentLoaded event to fire (and appear loaded) in 2.81s.
Unfortunately I won't be able to get that number any lower without some considerable months of investment on optimising that website, but that developer time is always prioritised elsewhere.
