Yeah, I should have posted that. This is the one I use the most: https://text.bpr.org/ https://text.bpr.org/ I forgot to save the links to the others.

  Wow it's amazing how noticeably faster than is that every other website. We really messed up the internet.

    Speed is the most important UX feature. I've emphasized this, repeatedly, to ~every product owner I've worked with in my 26-year career.

      I believe it's morally wrong to make software that makes people wait needlessly. If your software makes me wait, it better have something to do with the speed of light.

CNN is on https://lite.cnn.com/ https://lite.cnn.com/. The home page is a single 30KB HTML file (my browser also insists on downloading their 6KB favicon). A thing of beauty, compared to their normal home page with 90+ files of 12MB.

    It's almost as if we all have supercomputers in our pockets which could easily handle text and images of only web devs didn't shove 10MB of code in an interpreted language every time time we open a page!

      yup. I marveled at a cray y-mp 4 back in the days. now I use one as my daily driver, compute power wise. mind. blown. come to think about it...

        No, you don't. You use something some 200 to 2000 times more powerful.

      Half of the people on this site are those very same webdevs.

        What's up with that? Why would you rather build SUVs for soccer moms than race cars?

        Which means pointing it out has a higher potential for bearing fruit. If we convince just one web dev to start thinking/caring about it, that's a win.
