Cool presentation, but holy shit, taking ~2 minutes to load on FF and freezing the browser is not.
Mark Dalgleish's bespoke framework is tiny. The images are not, so maybe blame your ISP? Dunno, not guessing, but JS is last on the blame-guess list.
I'm just responding to the accusation as if Javascript is the known culprit. In those cases, chances are the code itself is the problem and not the language. I can code a page that will likely hang the browser but that doesn't mean I don't take the responsibility of the code that I wrote.
Also, I can open it in Lynx. The un-alt'd images mean there's a bit of inaccessible content, but it's actually more or less coherent, which might be useful to those whose machines are struggling with the content or even (potentially) to those rendering opinions on whether the web just sucks.
It only consumes a few MB RAM. But the favicon of his website is missing - that's why it looks like it loads several seconds.
Do you have any extensions installed? It took less than 2 seconds to load for me in a blank Firefox profile, which isn't particularly long for any website with a decent number of images on my connection.
My only complaint is that the animations make me seasick - I wish there were an obvious way to turn them off.
history.pushState = function (){};I also worry about the pushState function being misused to hide URLs in XSS attacks which involve query string parameters. It's clear you can also stop a user from going back from your page too, something I imagine could also be misused.
