For those who haven’t noticed before, CNC Kitchen (Stefan) puts almost all of his content online in text and picture form, not just YouTube. It’s really awesome for searchability and skimming to quickly find bits you’re interested in. I’ve come across it randomly a couple of times while researching things like foaming PLA without even realizing it’s his content, and really appreciate its existence!
They have a new site now which is one of the fastest sites I have been to in probably 5 years. It is full of information and has pretty much all test results from all videos.
It was a complete redesign and relaunch in late 2023. They want to now keep it fully updated, 0 ads, and not needing to rely on the video content.
I didn’t found their website to be “that fast”.
It’s just a drupal website.
Idk what your connection looks like, but I have to agree that site feels insanely fast. Everything other than the store page click-to-full-load for me was probably ~1/3 of a second. Even the store page for me only took a second or so.
Instead of using your feeling, you can open the devtools and it measure the load speed, lemmy loads in 800ms. GamerNexus loads in 1.15s.
It’s fast.
Really, it is not, it’s just a website that is not bloated. I’m not saying it’s slow, I’m saying it’s the speed of a website not bloated, not a fast website.
If you search webpage that are made to be fast, the load time are in the 80-200ms of total load time.
My own website that was made with not much thought for speed reach 100ms on my PC:

And the SVG are unoptimized.
Again, it’s a drupal website, it’s the first, or second most popular CMS, there are tons of website running this tech stack.
