Today's web frameworks promise stability & speed, yet I see a lot of modern websites that are slower than ones built on older tech. Feels like evolving backwards. Is this just my perception?

You're not alone! Many modern frameworks prioritize flexibility over performance, leading to slower sites.

Not to mention the ads.

(I could be completely wrong, but even when connecting directly, I definitely share that experience).

Javascript libraries are the modern cancer of websites. You have people just piling on library after library that they have no idea how it works and code size and execution time becomes absurd very quickly.

In some cases it isn't even that they don't understand it, they just seriously don't care at all.

Eh, it's the webdevs. Not the frameworks.

Anyone who thinks otherwise, doesn't know a thing or 2 about webdev.
