Hm, looks like you are right. At least the new timeline is server-side rendered. I guess they are updating parts of UI to be rendered on the server to be faster

Hm, looks like you are right. At least the new timeline is server-side rendered. I guess they are updating parts of UI to be rendered on the server to be faster. Interestingly some websites like GitHub are doing the opposite: they are slowly bringing incremental ajax-based transitions to every page, some "real-time" features are implemented with a socket signal refreshing the whole page. One of the community solutions is "FastRender" package, which is not really about rendering. What it does, it puts most of the initial data into HTML page so you don't need to wait for the websocket connection and the data arriving to render the initial page. Improves the initial page load quite significantly: https://meteorhacks.com/fast-render/ https://meteorhacks.com/fast-render/
