How does the forum work?

okay so my internet is capped at 0.5bps most of the time. usually it is slower though. (around 0.1mbps)

the forums load (some of it) instantly somehow
unlike some other websites like discord for example. if i want to log in i have to go to the homepage, wait about 5ish minutes for it to load. click log in, wait a few minutes for the log in panel to load. and while its logging in i have to wait about 10 minutes.

also the editor for makecode loads but not the images for a few minutes, like half the website loads near instantly.
why is makecode so fast?

i want to make a website that does not use css and minimal JavaScript for slower connections.
how can i also make sure it loads fast like makecode

For building fast AF websites:

  • Minify CSS and JS
  • Purge unneeded styles
  • Tree shake unneeded JS
  • Export to static websites with static files so they can be cached by a CDN

Many frameworks and hosting services provide this.

oh, and some web apps use the SPA idea where once you load a lot of JS, the JavaScript kicks off and inserts all the HTML elements and stuff. links are actually buttons that just change the DOM. React is a popular framework that does that. Awesome Arcade uses Next.js which uses React which does this for you. (Next.js hosted on Vercel is really fast :grin: )
