Comment why are WEBPAGES slow (Score 1) 766
I think why are webpages slow is the more relevant question. and to find a detailed answer, right click on the page and click "inspect" in Chrome.
click network - the amount of http/s requests the browser is making and how long their response takes. slashdot.org for me, a total of 151 requests from webserver(s) to obtain all data and assets for the page.
click timeline and profiles to view JS activity/response times.
the other part of the question - regarding tabs, it COULD just show the last rendered pixels when you click on the tab - but how long would this be relevant? it would probably quickly show it to you then have to run the scripts to pull the latest data anyway ( e.g. an ajax request for latest content ) - so in either case - it either loads on click of tab, or a fraction of a second after the click which would potentially just "flash up" the new data and might be jarring for the user.
Some of this is important for all devices ( even though its focused on mobile ): https://www.ampproject.org/lea...
