Re: I am a fast webpage
#222I hate to be negative, but what really is the point of this? That a simple webpage without any content can be fast? Of course it can. Is it desirable to inline your CSS, "like a boss?" Maybe if you have one single web page. What if you have dynamic content and your users intend to browse more than one page? With externalized CSS, that is all cached. Same with images. If I'm building a web application, I certainly do…

To shame people who build slow, bloated websites.
Saying that no bloat equates to no content is part of the problem.

#223Dlang forum (with dynamic content) is insanely fast! https://forum.dlang.org/group/general
Yeah, this is the site that made me realize just how awful so many other sites are.
It's very fast indeed, and has no useless graphics or javascript effects, but is 100% functional and looks great.
Re: I am a fast webpage
#224Honestly? I am surprised to see this page with such high vote on the first page. If you really wanted a fast "static" page, you would put it on a CDN. All you wanted to do is put a marketing link in your last paragraph.
Re: I am a fast webpage
#225Is this image inlining thing something new? Am I reading it correctly that the images are encoded in base64 and delivered as html? Surely this is a bad idea... no?
Keep in mind that you can inline images as SVG as well, which often results in smaller images, included with your HTML or CSS requests. Not all browsers support SVG, and not all support all properties, but those that do give some pretty good results.
pretty much every standard browser that is in use supports SVG. I've been using it for years.
Re: I am a fast webpage
#226Simple text, few links to 'tipps', a little bit of base64 images without any deeper knowledge. For example there was a website which showed the impact of base64 images just a few weeks ago (when i remember correctly)
But it has a referral link.
Thats probably the point of this page.

Completely offtopic, but how do you type •? I like it.
It's system dependent. On windows you can do alt+numpad 2022 On whatever is handling input for this XFCE system, control+shift+U 2022+Enter types it.
And since I'm lazy, I put it on AltGr+, with xmodmap.

Google doesn't do this on their more full-featured apps like G-Mail or Google Docs. Docs ships a bunch of files and stylesheets. Search works well because they have relatively few features to support by default (for things like the calculator I bet they ship that in with the response).
I think it's implied that these advices are for content pages, for the "old web", and not for single page apps.
HN is neither of the two and IMO represents where people spend most of their time.
I think Google's CSS embedding is terrible advice for the meaningful web, but logical advice for adwords landing pages or sites with content so bad or sparse you wont be navigating them.

#229A good sequel to http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ , which is probably too understyled for most people.
I prefer http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

Meaningless-weaningless, but that site loaded instantly on my iphone 4-without-s and did not lag, unlike all others (except hn ofc). No CDN can hide modern js freezotrons.
That's because all those other sites are poorly built. It's not because the article's site is a brilliant example of "doing it right". Putting bare text on the web is always going to be fast. So what. If he presented a real full-featured website with the bells and whistles that people expect today, and made it operate that fast, he'd have something to show. Instead he presents polished garbage.
His site is at least full-featured article (you can load, scroll and read it, yay). Most sites I open are article sites, and they are rarely full-featured articles, because load/scroll features aren't easily accessible.
