The site is running as a cgi script, according to the article, and hitting the HN front page doesn't seem to have slowed it down in any way that I've noticed. So I think the point is well made.
- Retr0id 3y agoThe page was served to me with `Last-Modified: Thu, 28 Dec 2023 04:02:49 GMT`, which to me implies either aggressive caching, or that the publishing system acts like a static site generator.
- siebenmann 3y agoThe publishing system takes some pains to provide an accurate last-modified value for HTTP caching purposes (and an ETag too); internally it tracks the most recent modification time of all components that go into the page as it's (dynamically) assembled from various pieces. (I am the author of the linked-to article and also the author of the software it's running. Said software also has (on-disk) caching, but that's not why the last-modified is back in December of last year.)
