rephrase

Sure, but demos are a good place to start. Then we can figure out why exactly the non-demos are slow.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

That's why I asked for examples. I want to know what are the good examples. Someone mentioned the main react site. Seems like a good place to start.

Yup.

Do you know of good SPAs? Sites that feel snappy even though they're SPAs. Most sites I visit that are SPAs are consistently slow so I've learned to make the same association: SPA = bad.

I rephrased what you were saying to take out the negative valence.

This is similar to other articles I've seen that draw a distinction between two choices: zero javascript vs full SPA. I think this is a false dichotomoy because most features advertised for SPAs (analytics, data/content preloading, transitions, optimized page loading) can be implemented for static sites as well. It would be nice to see frameworks that were more modular and interoperable because this would allow/give engineers the choice to decide which parts they want to be static and which parts they want to be dynamic.

I'm not sure if I agree with what you're saying though because you haven't provided examples of how the features of SPAs can be accomplished without JavaScript. Do you have references and examples?
