Nothing is being served on a CDN, nor even being cached. It's just a demo running on Google Cloud with Kubernetes/Docker.

#4Damn, those load times. This is on all my tests – fast internet or dialup, 2016 desktop or ancient android phone – significantly faster than the real HN.
Wow.

#5Awesome job. This is not a knock on JavaScript in particular, but the amount of brain bandwidth and dependencies to launch a modern web app is getting a bit absurd. I'm turning into that old grumpy hacker who prefers the simple good ole' days of LAMP. :-)

Opposite experience here. Near 4-5x slower than actual HN for me.

Definitely a lot of stuff going on. I take that as a sign of maturity rather than a problem. It's not really any different from C++ or Java or Python. You've got to learn all the frameworks and tooling as well. There's an equivalent for many of those packages in other languages.

This new site is around 1MB, regular HN is around 50KB. They're not even close. It's just that navigating to new pages is faster since it doesn't take a full page refresh.
