Really impressive stuff. Seems to have slowed down slightly now that it's on the front page, but blazing fast when I first opened it.

Impressive? This is the default. You have to actively do stuff to make it slower.

You have to actively do stuff to make a house messy, but it can still be impressive when it’s clean.

I find it the opposite. You have to actively clean a house, but do nothing and it won't be clean

[travisjungroth]

"Tidy" may have been a better word than clean.

The natural state of a home is tidy. It was probably empty when the current resident moved in. The natural state of a website is fast. A tiny website can be delivered in one packet.

The home only becomes messy through action. Not intention, but action. Someone has to dirty a dish for there to be dirty dishes. And it's not like you can avoid these activities, that's what a home is for.

It requires a countering action to put things back as they were. So it's action on both sides. Action to make things messy, action to keep things tidy. It's the second action we admire in the tidy home, the fast website.

Interesting. I'm seeing something slower. Pagespeed shows 2.7 seconds:

Even just an eye-test shows it's much faster than that for me.

Pagespeed shows .6 for desktop, but locally I'm seeing frames loaded under 350ms. I would have guessed much faster, but I guess the devtools don't lie.

I think devtools can lie in the sense that it can be slower when devtools is open in some circumstances.
