> used much less JS
The homepage loads 9.7kB of JS. Navigating to every single link in the main nav results in no additional JS being loaded.
The site is fine.
- spiralganglion 10mo agoThis page doesn't need JS. It doesn't need a loading indicator for said JS. It could just be html and css, otherwise unchanged.

- satvikpendem 10mo agoSometimes people want things we don't need. It doesn't need Javascript but it allows certain nice to have features, like instantaneous page loads.
- Alifatisk 10mo ago> it allows certain nice to have features, like instantaneous page loads Right, but I do not think this is the case here

- lelandfe 10mo agoYeah but them's highway miles. I have much less care about a site loading images than the stuff that makes the mobile nav work. Images are pretty! For instance, here's Python's 144kB JS-powered homepage mid-load: https://imgur.com/a/OvYVAMS https://imgur.com/a/OvYVAMS And theirs doesn't even have any pretty images! That said, Ruby really ought to give those images a compress.
