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.
- pnt12 2y agoWow - that is the fastest loading site I've seen!
- andrepd 2y agoIt'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!

- hoseja 2y agoHalf of the people on this site are those very same webdevs.
- deanishe 2y agoWhat's up with that? Why would you rather build SUVs for soccer moms than race cars?
- freedomben 2y agoWhich 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.
