Opening this site for me made 905 HTTP requests.

Apparently it tries to pre-load every job listing, including YouTube videos for everything? I appreciate what you're trying to do here but the site is pretty painful on a slow connection. Maybe don't load the listings until you click on one..?

Got it down to 129 requests by removing the pop-up (which was pre-loading every job listing) exactly as you describe.

I'll continue to look for optimizations.

Thank you einr!

Thank you einr. I have not optimized for preloading (I have a lot to learn). I did just archive a few hundred expired listings though, so hopefully that helps a bit with loading.

Safari on iOS renders briefly then appears to refresh twice before saying "A problem repeatedly occured"
