How browsers REALLY load Web pages

When browsers load a Web page and its subresources, A LOT happens under the hood. They need to take into account render/parsing blocking resources, use a preload scanner, listen to resource hints (like preload/preconnect), loading modifiers (async/defer/module), fetchpriority, responsive images, and much more.

Dirt Simple Photo Gallery now has a companion program, Dirt Simple Web Pages. Think of it as no markup web pages, index.php reads title.txt and notes.txt, both plain text files with no code.

Dirt Simple Web Pages does text, hot links, images, and iframe embeds. It was easier to write than Dirt Simple Photo Gallery and Plain Text Blog but maybe that's because I'm using all the same tricks.

Here's my first text page.

🧵 …the way AI is being misused to misinform the web has been clear for a long time, but to substantiate it arguably, I think we need this The Guardian text.

Finally finished switching my blog to #jekyll, which is super light, #EnergyEfficient (and thus more #EnvironmentallyFriendly), and lets me get into the back-end nitty-gritties armed only with a vague notion of #HTML coding from teenage years spent on #LiveJournal. Major props to @RyanChartier for enabling me; if you ask him very nicely, he might help you make a simple, lean #webpage, too. (seriously, give him a shout if you're interested)

The most user hostile #webpage I've ever seen is the #Xfinity account management site; specifically the customer.xfinity.com/#/devices page where you can see if you have exceeded the data cap which is useful for avoiding overage fees.

It takes 30 seconds to load! 10 seconds to load the #HTML, another 10 to load the #JS and #CSS!

Not because they are big files mind you, that's just how slow their servers are.

@drewdevault Using #Discord for any serious communication should disqalify the projects and those using it from being taken serious in #FLOSS development at all.

At least with #Mailinglists and #IRC we had the latter problem solved, and whilst a lot of people criticize #GitHub for all the valid reasons, one does not need to have a GitHub account to merely read issues and access documentation published there.

Not to mention Discord has a shitload ob absurd and archaic limitations that have no reason to exist, so even if one were okay with using that garbage #SaaS they'd inevitably run into the limit of "#Servers" [or rather #Instances] they can actually access at the same time VERY QUICKLY...
