gollark: Oh, entirely irrelevant giant unsplash images are trendy now.
gollark: But, if you *don't* do that, you can actually make your website load faster.
gollark: So, the average webpage downloads vast amounts of random JS to do some tasks, often from Google or other CDNs.
gollark: osmarks.tk, for example, uses *no* AMP and is much lighter due to not pulling giant amounts of JS from Google servers.
gollark: It's not actually really faster than sane use of regular web tech, it just cheats by having preloading in search results.
