Why are there so many websites that are essentially static HTML that make my phone stutter?
The video’s look cool, but I can’t really enjoy reading about them if my phone freezes every 2 seconds.
- runeks 2y agoWhich browser?
- arendtio 2y agoAnd which device. Over the years, adding many simultaneous videos to websites has become quite common, and I have always marveled at how well many devices can handle this. Nevertheless, it is pretty demanding for the hardware, and many smartphones are not made for such tasks.
- _heimdall 2y agoI'm seeing weird bank on a Pixel 6a / chromium browser as well. I'm on mobile so I can't check the source, but this can't just be static HTML. When I scroll the page, sections of text are missing then pop in, randomly though not as a scroll driven animation. It almost feels like something is blocking the browser's render loop and it can't catch up to actually paint the text. That'd be an insane bug on such a simple page, though I put nothing past react these days if they used it here.
- joquarky 2y agoI'm also having trouble with the page. I wish web browsers had a "pause" button for scripts so I can just scroll to the bottom, let everything load and then hit pause and "freeze" the page contents so I can read without distractions. I also feel like the quality of web UX is in rapid decline, and nobody wants to hire competent web developers who grok the fundamentals anymore.

- aDyslecticCrow 2y agoYour comment makes no sense
- selbyk 2y agoI think that's the joke
- Eikon 2y agoYour comment uses php.
- rudasn 2y agoIt's actually quite usable and fast if you turn javascript off.
- Kailhus 2y agoNot so much stutter here but definitely some layout shifts as images/video elements load :/
- hnben 2y agomaybe the companies, who make them, have not enough know-how in web-development.
