Introducing Slowww.ml – the slow web server
-
@Edent Er, well I get this immediately
-
@mattround boooo!
It is a stupidly long-running script and I thought I could get away with running it on a free host.
Ah well, back to the drawing board. -
@Edent
Cool idea!The image doesn't actually load. And something about it messes with the positioning of the page. While an image "loads" I can't actually scroll away to follow the text that's being displayed - the browser keeps jumping back to the image. Which, again, never seems to actually load.
I gave up after that.
-
@jannem interesting. Which browser are you using?
-
@Edent Firefox mobile on Android.
I can check on desktop and with chromium as well if you like.
-
@Edent Kept trying & got it to work eventually! In Chrome it appears gradually as I assume you intended, in Safari it seems to be loading behind the scenes and only renders when I stop it
-
@mattround interesting! I didn't realise Safari was so fastidious.
Cheers for letting me know. -
@Edent yup, and then some
-
@FINOkoye thanks! Will re-try the experiment later.
-
@Edent Well it worked for me - nice and slow! Apart from the slow loading image - just got a broken image symbol even after the webp image loaded.

@Edent
So this is what it looks like on desktop:
-
@neil I hadn't realised the free host would stick JS in front of it. A bit annoying, but probably good enough for my purposes.
Ta! -
@jannem perfect, ta!
-
@simoncox how odd! Which browser are you using?
-
@Edent
Vivaldi on OSX. -
@Edent on phone...
-
@Edent lol! It took additional 30 seconds on safari for iOS (how anyone uses Safari on iOS is crazy). The progressive jpeg images didn’t load! And finally your toot may have killed the site

@Edent ...it doesn't and there was a certificate problem, is the trojan horse or RAT now installed?
-
@magsamond thanks.
