    Probably less javascript. In theory, javascript makes sites faster because it diverts processing to the user’s browser. In reality, developers use it to load all sorts of frameworks, third party whatevers, and other crap that slows things down. In other words, the same reason old websites load fast.

      Also the reddit app is absolute steaming garbage that tries to throw ads and videos at you constantly.

      So much of our software is slowed down by what’s basically ad analytics, because we have to remember, the ads are the actual product here.
