You’d think “it’s easier for many phones to render PUBG than modern websites” would be an industry-wide wake-up call, but. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/modern-web-bloat-means-some-entry-level-phones-cant-run-simple-web-pages-and-load-times-are-high-for-pcs-some-sites-run-worse-than-pubg
Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG

@beep this thing -> https://upstash.com/ consumes 50mb+ heap size on startup , to display a static landing page.

For youtube, it is consistently 100mb+, for google, it is again 50mb.

@nrk9819 @beep excuse me, but this isnt a static landing page. it's a slideshow

@SRAZKVT "static" means consisting of static files that can be pre-generated and served to the client without processing per request. Static in case of websites doesn't mean devoid of interactive/animated components like a slideshow.
