I have a fairly fast connection, but I live in Australia and latency is a real issue.
Hacker News loads pretty much instantly. This takes 6.78 seconds to start loading the links - even on a warm cache. Most of that time is spent waiting on a web socket. There's absolutely no reason in the world why a link aggregator needs web sockets.
- tferris 14y ago> Most of that time is spent waiting on a web socket. Is the delay after the header loaded caused by websockets? Is this always with websockets or are there ways to avoid delays?
- charliesome 14y agoIt appears so. Open Chrome's Network Inspector and reload the page to see for yourself. This could be resolved by sending the links in the HTML rather than pulling them down over the web socket
- saurik 14y agoI live in Southern California, and this page was also quite slow.
- shane_armstrong 14y agoWeird, for me, the other website loaded instantly but the normal Hacker News has about the same latency as you specified for HN2. That being said, I don't really like the look of the site, it could use a little UI improvement (since you are going for modernization and sleekness) to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
