https://www.mcmaster.com/ is fast . I've never been to Georgia, I don't live in the US, I don't even need hardware. But I still enjoy just clicking on random links and seeing a swift response.

What I like about it is that it's a no-BS e-commerce store, get in and get out.

I've seen people shopping for hardware on reddit say that the navigation is clunky and confusing, and IIRC they said the products are price-gouged?

I'd be curious to know what other users here with an eye for design think of it, and if they know of similar websites, as I've been working on a hardware e-commerce store (mainly for my own use) that uses a lot of the same principles of no-BS shopping, I'm supposed to present it to my mentor next week

Also, a lot of the speed is pretty standard with most frameworks, they did a good job of blending in the slow loading bits into something that feels fast. Overall It's a great website and I'm sure it makes lots of sales

Funny, for me it is much slower than average website. I'm on a phone right now. Will try from a desktop tomorrow

That is cool! Anyone know the tech behind it?

It looks like something achievable with SPA frameworks such as next.js

Could it be HN that's slowing it down?

Seems broken. Used to be able to load up two youtube videos, hit play on both, and cross fade between the two of them. http://www.twoyoutubevideosandamotherfuckingcrossfader.com/

Alright, so the domain isn't as cool, but this one works
