Nowadays, we come across many websites where the pages are too slow. They take a while to load simple content like thumbnails, texts, and pictures. Most of the time, these pages are slow not because of your internet speed, but because of the technology the websites use for serving content

      I got bad news for you… htmx is written in JavaScript.

        Yeah but I’d rather 1 piece of js instead of 6000

          Yeah I was being a little sarcastic. I agree that using a single lightweight framework is ideal.

          Runtime js for rendering your page is still bad for performance of course. Best to use static html where possible.

      It is pretty great. We use it throughout PieFed if you’re interested in a working example.
