The GitHub website is slow on Safari

The Github website is slow everywhere. It is truly a piece of shit software both in terms of performance but also UX/UI and everything in between.

It's a product of many cooks and their brilliant ideas and KPIs, a social network for devs and code being the most "brilliant" of them all. For day to day dev operations is something so mediocre even Gitlab looks like the golden standard compared to Github.

And no, the problem is not "Rails" or [ insert any other tech BS to deflect the real problems ].

The problem is they abandoned rails for react. The old SSR GitHub experience was very good. You could review massive PRs on any machine before they made the move.

if you look at the thread, the explanation is not this easy, as much as it's satisfying to blame React (or any other single tech)

That comment was about overall slowness of the site, not a specific issue on a specific browser.

Available data confirms that SPA tends to perform worse than classic SSR.

I'm pretty sure that if they rendered/updated the same insane amount of nodes with some other technology, for example PJAX like they used to do, performance would not be better
