← Back to context Comment by sgt 12 days ago It's not that smooth looking if a refresh takes 500 milliseconds. Then it flickers. 5 comments sgt Reply foobahify 12 days 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_ 12 days ago Oh yeah a 15 second spinning circle and 250mb memory is sooooo much better than a 500ms refresh </sarcasm> earthnail 12 days 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 12 days ago I don't disagree with you :) mattgreenrocks 12 days ago If the layout hasn’t changed, then there is no flicker that I can tell on Chrome/FF at 144hz.
