The public version of the Web started taking off in 1995, around the time Netscape Navigator was released. Here's the World Supercomputer List for 1995: https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/1995/06/ … A Coffee Lake GPU in a random laptop is almost double the performance of the top of that list.

So what we are observing is, since the Web started, it has become so much slower that a supercomputer would no longer be able to run it? Does that make sense to anyone?https://twitter.com/Suhail/status/1387063023521595394 …

But the tides are already turning and more and more web developers are starting to understand that the whole Node thing was a big mistake. Look out for Elixir based sites pushing server rendered content over websockets.

Server-side rendering is an *absurd* solution that depends on a severe misunderstanding of the problem in order to seem to make any sense at all.

You would want to render those fancy templates on the server and just push plain HTML to the client.
