For what it's worth, less than 4% of websites use React (approximately 4% use any JS framework) . If you believe the web is slow because of React you are wrong.

- gratitoad 4y agoI’m curious, where do you get those numbers from? Those are shockingly low numbers and don’t align with my observations, but I also don’t have hard figures to back them up.
- valzam 4y ago4% of what? I would wager a guess that close to 100% of Alexa top 1000 websites us a JS framework and a significant portion of that something heavy like React or Angular.
- ramesh31 4y ago>It's not even due to JS. Oh it definitely is. But no single framework (or frameworks) are to blame. It's the CMS. The thing that allows every Tom, Dick, and Harry at the company to drop their little snippet for this or that which adds up to a mountain of garbage over time, half of which is disused or forgotten.

- jimbokun 4y agoIs that weighted for the traffic those web sites receive? It could be that most of the traffic is served by websites using heavyweight frameworks, but the long tail of low traffic websites use them rarely.
- wellanyway 4y ago> It's not even due to JS. Do enlighten us then, what is it due to?
