well this is a NO!

just jumped on a WordPress website and was wondering why it was taking so bloody long to load even on high-speed internet. only to view source and get hit with 240 lines of JavaScript includes and about 20 odd lines of content.
LIKE WTFFF!!!

There is no way on this fucking earth every single library is being used to show me a god fucking dam search result that returns absolutely nothing no matter what i search for.

To any wordpress "DEVS" out there FUCK YOU and your FUCKING plugin madness.

I would love to hear from a WP dev how you justify this kind of bullshit!

    Since I can't see fuck I guess the inclusion is in a templateloop

    Had to zoom out to get decent shot of the js includes.
    Basically every green line is another js library and the white is an init for the above js.

    Probably in a self looping output but the amount of libraries being added is insanity gone wrong.

    Surprisingly only once

    Also I managed to get a cramped hand from grabbing all the JS files and CSS being loaded in.

    For a better idea.

    That still wouldn't take long. If it takes a long time to come up at all then it's the backend. Frontend the page will come up but content, etc will continue to load. I've seen a lot of wordpress sites on nginx that take forever before the page response (3-5 seconds)gets sent to the browser and then the scripts and styles load instantly even with 20+ includes. With so many alternatives now I don't understand why people still resort to WordPress. Such a horribly written application

    I feel bad when I import bootstrap

    The dev might have done it on purpose so that it can be optimized later.

    @itsmill3rtime Just out of curiosity, what other alternatives would you personally recommend? Not questioning your opinion on WordPress, just interested to hear some thoughts. :)

    @marcusforsberg yeah, I'd also like more mentions of alternatives. I personally lean towards Grav but IMO it isn't mature enough just yet. A lot of things need to be done manually in it and a lot of themes are not designed for more than one or two page types.

    @marcusforsberg https://ghost.org is pretty good. Personally I usually just build out the functionality myself with laravel as a framework. Blogs are rather simple to create.
