Server-side is a different beast than the whole server->client part. HN does not load particularly fast for me, 300-500ms is fairly slow.

- cpach 11y agoCompared to most newspapers and other sites using megabytes of Javascript, HN is blazingly fast. Whenever I find myself on a shitty connection with high response time and (moderate) packet loss, trying to read a newspaper online is just painful, whereas HN mostly loads fine anyay.
- tormeh 11y agoSame for me. I don't think HN's particularly fast. Barely faster than rockpapershotgun.com, which has lots of images, but not much. Given that it's all pure html text, I would expect more. RPS might have better caching that's closer to me though.
- aikah 11y ago> Barely faster than rockpapershotgun.com, which has lots of images, but not much rockpapershotgun.com takes 10 seconds to load entirely and serves 1.6 MB of data. Which is OK compared to others Like Polygon and Co which serve more that 5MB on their homepage and take 20sec to load on average.
