Can you outperform this website? | Devtooling Hacker News

Welcome to another dev tools video, in this video I use dev tools to break down how hacker news (YCombinator) works. This is one of the best websites when it comes to efficiently, backward compatibility and performance. I enjoyed making this video and it makes me think that we should sometimes evaluate and go back to the basics and ask ourselves. Do we always need modern tech?

Could you do a review of Firefox Dev tools? Think it would be a fun video & also interesting to get insight into how they differ.

Hussein you are genuinely so fun to listen to, each devtooling video gets me super hyped up about cutting down that waterfall!

Only in US west it is that fast. In India, the latency is 260+ ms for html and similar for other files. The server is likely in US west and that's why you are getting such a good performance. I am surprised, they have not cached the landing page in different regions across the globe.

Hacker News is written in Arc. Paul Graham and Robert Morris's (founders of YCombinator) Lisp dialect built on top of Racket.

Server is located at US, California
ISP : M5 Computer Security
City : San Diego
Latitude : 32.8223
Longitude : -177.102

Traceroute from West Bengal, India leads to multiple hops via Singapore and then Paris and then jumps to US

You could draw the grey arrows with svg defined in the root.

I love the tech behind HN. But, sadly, there's so much censorship that is essentially useless.

By default browser should not open more 4 simultaneous connections to the same site and favicon is loaded after DomContentLoaded event.

I can imagine how hard it is to create such lightweight webapps with frameworks like Rails.
