The funny part about it is all the bad things I will - go over are not limited to indie websites but are instead echos of the - mainstream web that have sadly been leaking into everything else. A lot of - what I have to say are things discovered through umatrix. Often times we - only see the outside of a website but when using a good content blocker - like umatrix, noscript, ublock advanced mode... the inner workings of a - website is brought into the light. What I often find isnt pretty. Sometimes - a website is themed to look old school but under the hood its just a bunch - of modern javascript bullshit and a hell ton of frames. Other times more - modern looking websites have little to no javascript and instead use - tastefull first party css to get that look. - </p> - - <h4>Please dont hot link</h4> - <p> - From what I have seen neocities users love to abusive hot linking all the way - to the deepest depths of hell. Every single button, blinky, gif, meme... on - their frontpage is hot linked. Its perfectly ok to make your viewers suffer - with too much of that shit. I do the same. But <b>please download all the - images and gifs into your image folder instead of hot linking - them</b>. Here is why: - </p> - <ul> - <li>Hot linking puts strain on the sites you link to.</li> - <li>Hot linking makes your site handle link rot poorly.</li> - <li>Hot linking annoys the fuck out of people using any type of addon or - browser feature that disables third party images. We do it to stop tracking - pixels and things of that nature.</li> - </ul> - - <h4>Please limit your use of javascript</h4> - <p> - <b>Its best to not use javascript at all.</b> Though if you are addicted to - the drug javascript and cant help yourself at least try to limit your use - of it. That means <b>all static content needs to be accessible without - javascript</b>. No using javascript for fancy drop downs, no using - javascript to handle your layout, no using javascript just to get text and - images into the screen, no using javascript for basic animations... - </p> -</article> |
