These look very specific.

I'd be interested in an analysis of common patterns in marketing pages. We have a pretty good standardized set of components for productive interfaces (buttons, fields, tabs etc.)

But looking at this makes me wonder if there really is a common set of abstractions for marketing pages beyond just throwing out 200 templates and calling them blocks.

This website is unusable on my mobile, a motoG42. Not the fastest phone but everything web I use it on is smooth. Magic UI.design lags and stutters even when just scrolling up and down. That tells me everything I need to know.

Scrolled down on my pixel 3a XL and the webview crashed

It's pretty awful on a M1 Pro too, at least until the page has fully loaded. I'm assuming all of the inline styles are forcing a few seconds of re-layouts and that kills the initial performance.

My Thinkpad T14s/Firefox combo can't handle it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

1997 called, they want their prejudice back. “Web designers are not even programmers”

haha. Semantics are important. Words carry meaning, we use them to convey information.

Anyone can build a bridge much like anyone can make an HTML page render.

Building a half mile suspension bridge supporting millions of cars per day will require a different depth of understanding.

This page is IMPRESSIVELY BAD.

I don't even care what it shows due to just how audibly resource heavy it is while showing pretty much nothing other than some simple copy.

There's no way in hell opening the main page should cause so much load my computer sounds like I just opened Cyberpunk 2077 or Doom Eternal at max details, especially given the amount actually rendered (I just opened the page, didn't even scroll anywhere!).

Looking into Chrome's performance metrics it's as if there's constant, ridiculous re-rendering of everything, with just calculating the layering causing CPU fans to go to 80%.
