← Back to context Comment by sgt 1 year ago It's not that smooth looking if a refresh takes 500 milliseconds. Then it flickers. 5 comments sgt Reply foobahify 1 year ago 500ms means a slow connection, high latency or significant bloat.Optimising the page and using a CDN can help alot.It is a shame HTML doesn't have rel="swap" in links to "swap" in a new page. axegon_ 1 year ago Oh yeah a 15 second spinning circle and 250mb memory is sooooo much better than a 500ms refresh </sarcasm> earthnail 1 year ago A 2s spinning circle may indeed be better than a 500ms flashing reload. Try it on your mom (“waaah why did it flash??”).I also dislike SPAs but there is business value in this slow spinner that you shouldn’t discount.Luckily, turbo or htmx solve this just as well. And maybe even more importantly, I can’t think of a modern browser that still flickers. sgt 1 year ago I don't disagree with you :) mattgreenrocks 1 year ago If the layout hasn’t changed, then there is no flicker that I can tell on Chrome/FF at 144hz.
