This seems disingenuous once I view source on search results and find multiple inline script elements, some not too small, again inline, style/CSS in the head and many dispersed span tags also with inline style declarations. I see some element attributes not quoted but at least the href on search results are indeed between quotes.
From what I can see in their source, there is a lot more they could do to optimize their bandwidth and page load speeds than eating a couple of closing tags.
- nex3 17y agoRequesting an entirely new file for CSS and Javascript is probably significantly more expensive (time-wise if not bandwidth-wise) than sending down more bytes for this one page.
- tremendo 17y agoFor one time, the first. After that it would come from the browser cache with a bandwidth cost of zero. If every user makes a few queries daily the savings would surely be bigger than not closing a few tags here and there. And I still see lots of onclicks, and spans with multiple CSS class names. Their layout is not that complicated, surely there's room to optimize that too.
