I can't help but think it's funny that they're using React for a page like this, with scripts like 'wixAppsBuilder.min.js', 'wixAppsClassics.min.js' and 14 requests to frog.wix.com (whatever that is). So apparently they built this (extremely simple!) page with... Wix Website Builder?

Yeah, Wix has been transitioning all their Angular code to React.

You're blaming superfish for using a website builder for a trivial page rather than actually care about hosting + coding + etc?

You'd think that since Superfish was a web malware company, that intercepted web pages and added content to them, they would be competent enough to write a ten-line site without using a heavy, bloated website builder that makes 28 requests, most of them JavaScript. IIRC Wix was, until very recently, a Flash website builder.

Sometimes, just maybe, the priority isn't to build something from scratch (however simple), but rather press a few buttons and move onto something more important.

What happened to a plain HTTP page? (with all js you want, of course)
