How long did it take to load 20 years ago, on a 20 year old PC/Mac ? - seems like a very big page?
- maigret 2y agoThere is supporting data that webpages have become bigger faster than the bandwidth even increased. This is like, very bad. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/the-need-for-speed/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/the-need-for-speed/

And of course now it loads a ton of useless widgets, probably much bigger images (sometimes they load a video to serve the same purpose, just because they can), and a whole lot more code. And that's with uBlock origins; if I disable it it's a lot worse. Objectively, in 25 years they have been paying people to make it an order of magnitude worse. And it's not only them: the vast majority of websites have followed that trend.
