Looks like you are getting downvoted. I upvoted you, so I'll leave this here because is relevant: https://sonniesedge.co.uk/posts/progressive-enhancement

Come on, the website is only text, images, and a few forms, why would you render it in JavaScript. I don't see any additional benefit compared with plain HTML, CSS.

It is not a rich web application, even if it were.

Also, there's been server-side rendering for a while now.

Edit: Opinion

"No, you’re the kind of shit that enjoys arguing with people, rather than empathising with them."

Oh my, the article describes itself.

Now, there is one angry person :)

I stopped reading the article after 10 lines. I'm not easily offended, but when reading an opinion that has the F-word every line, it's just a turn-off.

The payment form near the bottom is a stripe form. I’d assume it requires js.

So, in that case we should be seeing everything but the stripe form! Its not really fair to blame them to make a non js website though. They might not have put time into it

Same here. Using Firefox, I only block Stripe and Jquery (used for Stripe as someone commented), and still see white-space.

I won't honor it with my IE (don't feel like giving Stripe a ping).
