That's a fair point. The site should run fine on low end mobile (tested on an ancient BlackBerry, ironically). I'll see if there's a way to stop reduce the amount of JavaScript and / or make CloudFlare work in a slightly more sensible manner.
Thanks for the info.
Where is the irony? Or are we eschewing Oxford and Webster's definition and using Alanis Morrisette's?
I'm talking trash about BB while using BB for testing.
Granted, it's not the most scintillating use of irony - but it fits the British definition quite adequately.
Of course, the ironic thing about Alanis Morrisette's song is that it contains no irony. Which makes it paradoxically ironic.
I never realized that the British definition of irony included acting in a manner contrary to one's stated preferences.
I have heard the "paradoxically ironic" bit from other people before and it never made any sense to me. A lack of irony is not the same thing as the opposite of irony. I have also never been able to understand the difference between "ironic" and "paradoxically ironic."
See, for example, http://www.buzzfeed.com/ailbhemalone/the-19-most-ironic-fact...
I use NoScript and RequestPolicy. I'm thinking the page is another one of those that depends so much on javascript that it can't do anything without it. That's bad for the security of your readers because practically every known browser exploit in the last decade has had javascript as a necessary component - so over-use of javascript forces your users to choose between exposing themselves to increased risk or not reading your content.
Also, javascript performance on mobile is terrible, frequently 10x slower than desktop, so even if you don't care about the security of your users, the user experience of your websites is probably going to suffer on mobile.
