According to Reddit's "Staff Platform Engineer (Web Platform Team)": --- start quote --- Old Reddit has the advantage of being pretty much static non-interactive content. No video, tiny thumbnails, and barely any JS or styling. Some people like this and some don't, but the end result is a very lean website that performs well out of the box. https://x.com/jimsimon_/status/1841087335414280571 Suffice to say, I'm on the frontend perf team and we're acutely aware of these problems https://x.com/jimsimon_/status/1841092341991403974 --- end quote --- This was in October 2024. Which is of course a bunch of bullshit when you consider that Reddit's backend returns most data in under 400ms, and it takes Reddit frontend 3+ seconds to render it It could be that they are just incompetent. |
