gollark: DokuWiki, which I use for my notes, apparently does page rendering fairly slowly, so it has a complex caching thing in place.
gollark: If you want that nice user login icon, you either have to:- serve your files statically, have an API, and add some JS to add the user icon- start serving all your files off a custom webserver thing which does templating or something and adds the icon
gollark: And while you *can* do it with JS and an API, you still need a backend and then people complain because JS and there are some problematic cases there.
gollark: > what's non-trivial about sending data from two sources?You have to actually have a backend instead of just a folder of static files behind nginx, which adds significant complexity.
gollark: Anyway, the web platform can be very fast, but people mostly don't care. I'm not sure *why*, since apparently a few hundred ms of load time can reduce customer engagement or something by a few %, which is significant, but apparently people mostly just go for easy in-place solutions like using a CDN rather than actually writing fast webpages.
