Show HN: I ranked news websites by speed I've been working on building "the fastest news website" for a few reasons: 1. I got tired of waiting for news websites to load, so I made a text-only news website that only has major news headlines. 2. I wanted to demonstrate to the world that if you want to build something really fast on the web, you can do it without loads of JavaScript. 3. I wanted to show that you can design something that looks good without having tons of images, etc. I put together the speed page at https://ift.tt/UcaODns to hold my website to be more accountable for speed, but it's also interesting to see how fast other news websites are (or in most cases, are not). Some feedback I'm interested in receiving: 1. What's your take both on the speed ranking methodology for Legible News? 2. Are my descriptions of the metrics for a non-web developer reasonable? Example of that at https://ift.tt/5Spej0H , and if you click through the links on that table, you see a description like https://ift.tt/F5l1mfN Sorry ahead of time, but I can't fit all news websites on the speed report. I had to target general news websites, not ones for specific niches like HN for Tech. If there's something you think that's missing please post it, but I can't promise that I'll add it.
