The web was done right the first time. An ancient 3D banana shows Microsoft does a lot right, too

old sites

Look for any information on ham radio and chances are you're gonna to find a site from 1997 in plain old HTML that was made once and deemed working and therefore no need to change

they look basic and like a museum piece but they load in 2 seconds without 200 javascript libraries coming down the pipe and an additional 500mb RAM footprint on top of chrome's usual hoard

My own blog is security-focused, so it's just static content as well as that's less of an attack surface area

My own first site was made in 1998 and the web had that promise which promised one thing in particular: "thousands of people per day want to see your scifi fan page"!!!
