@@ -9,9 +9,9 @@ That's because most modern websites take a lot of time to load framework files, ads and trackers. While that's kinda functional, I think we should change our habits and start making simple websites again.
In fact, I thought about creating this gemlog (and article) when I saw [Lonami]'s minimal website and immediately noticed how fast and clean it feels. Yeah, this looks like a first world problem and it probably is, but it's not as subtle as you think. I'm actually convinced that the internet could actually benefit from this way of thinking, and that's what I'm going to talk about. -=> https://odysee.com/@Luke:7/a-demonstration-of-modern-web-bloat:f [video] -=> https://lukesmith.xyz [Luke Smith] -=> https://lonami.dev/ [Lonami] +=> https://odysee.com/@Luke:7/a-demonstration-of-modern-web-bloat:f video +=> https://lukesmith.xyz Luke Smith +=> https://lonami.dev/ Lonami ## The problem In the early days of the internet, it was common for webpages to be written using only HTML, so we had very ugly but functional websites.@@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ Sadly, this brings us to the problem: any modern website has become a burden for any browser to load, since our browser needs to download and parse through each library and often fill the page content as you scroll through.
In his video, Luke Smith found that a simple Chicken Parmesan recipe would take up to 5-10 megabytes, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it actually is. It's easier to understand it if you think about it with video-games; any game on 16-bit consoles and earlier, including full-fledged 30+ hour adventures like Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger, weighs less than one single recipe page (as stated [here]). -=> https://blogs.umass.edu/Techbytes/2014/02/10/history-of-gaming-storage/#attachment_2827 [here] +=> https://blogs.umass.edu/Techbytes/2014/02/10/history-of-gaming-storage/#attachment_2827 here ## The solution Well, I don't think this "problem" is getting solved soon, as new frameworks for web development are constantly being introduced. Sadly, it's a one-way train, but if you're a web-dev you could actually make a difference yourself!
