I wish I understood how Techmeme.com loads so fast. It's truly a marvel.
More to the point, I wish other web devs understood how.
@kfury Static html?
@ai6yr Could be, but I don't usually see even static sites load this fast. They must optimize their HTML very well for rendering during load.
@kfury Yeah, definitely optimized, but it's straight HTML 1.0 with some Javascript to load up stuff progressively. I also suspect the web server(s) they have have everything optimized to cache that all in memory, etc. etc. etc. That's quite a contrast to a lot of website nowadays which have 8000 external Javascript scripts, cookies, loading from sites they do not control, CSS pages, etc. etc. etc.
@ai6yr Nice! That reminds me of Yahoo’s 2002 HTML. We had meetings where we’d have to justify every character of html on the home page.
