This website does >100 requests and weighs 1.1MB compressed. What a waste of bandwidth and resources.

I would imaging this is kind of intentional?

I don't think somebody would intentionally use Wix to inflate their payload.

People love to scroll. Don't annoy them by using fixed headers: http://zichy.de/public/siufh.html .

This bookmarklet has changed my browsing experience for the better: https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/

Wonderful! It seems there is an arms race between marketers and designer on one side and users on the other.

They don't when the page wants to load 8 different external scripts, 5 different tracking beacons, 13 things automatically blocked by uBlock Origin, and then even when you enable all scripts it still just says "Yes they do."

I didn't realize that the page actually did anything at all for just this reason. Thanks for taking one for the team...also why was this in a script in the first place? Shouldn't it just be text?
