This site got me going. Almost had whiplash when I tapped a link and the page loaded literally instantly. I've almost forgotten that that's possible on the internet. I'm not a web dev, but I'm inspired to get into it now because of this site.

Try uBlock Origin and most of your sites will load instantly (hint: most of the time it is third-party analytics/ads issue)
I have many blockers. Doesn't help performance at all IMO.
You should try making a site with Astro. Load speed is cray cray.
Yeah I’m a recent Astro convert. To be fair, any static site will have this effect. It’s just everyone is using react to make landing pages now.
What makes Astro fast isn't just that it's static, it's that it automatically pre-renders and it doesn't ship a runtime. React can render to static as well, it just also ships the React runtime.
React sites are easily static.
Static or pre-rendered static? I rarely come across the latter, but the former is pretty common.
I mean you also have HN as a reference.
I use an app for HN, and try to wherever I can due to my general experience with web things, so it's a different feel. But also HN being snappy is pretty much an upfront expectation given it's like 99.99% text.
TIL there is an HN app.
Yep, several. I've found Hacki best for me so far, but actually I'm considering to make my own as there are a few pain points and extras I'd like handled, and it'd be a nice learning experience.
