Took forever to load, I believe Webflow has CMS pagination... maybe check in on that.
Also try lazy loading for media

#22Opening this site for me made 905 HTTP requests. Apparently it tries to pre-load every job listing, including YouTube videos for everything? I appreciate what you're trying to do here but the site is pretty painful on a slow connection. Maybe don't load the listings until you click on one..?
Thank you einr. I have not optimized for preloading (I have a lot to learn). I did just archive a few hundred expired listings though, so hopefully that helps a bit with loading.
This crashes Chrome on iOS.

Safari on iOS renders briefly then appears to refresh twice before saying "A problem repeatedly occured"

#25Thank you everyone for your feedback!
You're right in that load times were abysmal. I have since removed the Product Hunt-like popup modal on the landing page. While I personally enjoyed the aesthetic and UX, my no-code pop-up was loading all of the images/videos for 100+ job listings upon load. No wonder it was so slow.
The new simplified experience (and many would argue, improved UX) goes directly to a full page listing AND reduces load times by >90%.
I have been operating this job board in beta for a couple of months and never had a complaint about load times (maybe it is all of us gamers that are used to download 12 hour game patches). I owe a great debt of gratitude the HN community for surfacing the issue.
Thank you!

Got it down to 129 requests by removing the pop-up (which was pre-loading every job listing) exactly as you describe.
I'll continue to look for optimizations.
Thank you einr!

#27Overall very nice (and useful for someone like myself), but if I may bitch for just one second :) (I was browsing in incognito mode, if that's relevant) Navigation seems really broken. I can select a job listing to get details, but the back button on my mouse doesn't work as expected. It takes me back to the page before the home page, not the home page itself. Clicking on the scroll bar while viewing a listing makes…
On safari, clicking a job doesn’t load a description, just moves me to the top of the page. Tracking protection on
I believe this should be fixed.

Thank you for surfacing this issue. To better understand (and replicate) your UX, is this the No Script chrome extension? I'll have to look into a solve for this in Webflow (my no-code builder). Otherwise, it may have to wait until if/when I (likely contract to) rebuild with custom code.
I'm actually on firefox. It also loads very slowly right now so I'm not sure if that's what's being loaded on our end or on the servers end either. I have tried it from the falkon browser as well and the slow loading existed there also. I enabled workwithindies.com, have ajax.googleapis.com, gstatic.com, vimeo.com, vimeocdn.com, and youtube.com enabled when I encountered my highlighting and clicking issue.
I just made an update that looks like it reduced load times by >90%. Would love to see if you notice a difference.

#29FYI a lot of these pages appear blank to me (not all) and are returning HTTP ERROR 510. Congrats on the launch though - looks like you have decent traction already.

Immediately haha! Works much better with and without no script enabled.
