No comment about the substance of the article but I just have to give props: this site loaded incredibly quickly for me. Like it felt like a handful of milliseconds between tapping the link on my phone and it showing up, already scrolled to the right anchor within the article. Bravo on making it snappy.

I wonder what advanced technology they used to make it so fast?

Something like, oh, I don't know - HTML?

Indeed - a nice bloat-free site, but it still looks reasonably modern.

I needed the SMBus specification a week or two back, and was greatly amused by the 1990s-looking website which hosts it - still with purple bevelled buttons adorned with Comic Sans text! But it's crawlable, archivable, won't break when some framework or plugin gets automatically upgraded, and will hopefully still be there in another decade.
