That website is also pretty snappy for me as a user, but it could be that it's because each webpage looks like it was hand-written rather than having content slog its way towards the user through a sea of Javascript frameworks.

  I wrote a webserver for my own website analytics, running with go on a raspberry pi from an SD card it could handle 5k requests per second.
  Modern computers are fast if you don't fill them with shit.

  that is so interesting, did you publish the code somewhere?
- IO 😇 @lemmy.blahaj.zone 3w ago

  There are several solutions for running a webserver in Emacs like Elnode from Nic Ferrier, httpd.el from Joe Schafer, simple-httpd from Christopher Wellons or Emacs Web Server from Eric Schulte.
  And then there's the browser side!
