Page Load: A Breakdown
#1
I'd like to see you do a video that explains why in the past 5 - 7 years a web page takes up around 400MB of memory compared to the same site(s) of yesteryear that used around 5MB at most, and work out if it's the fault of poor web code development or poor browser coding.

There's one for you mate  Tongue

It may take an entire web series to work out.

It's not the speed at issue but more the RAM usage in a browser when accessing a web page. Test it on any modern browser and modern website then compare with old browsers and old versions of those websites.

Try CNN.com for example.

YouTube's new layout is one of those, it's killing my current very mediocre to bad PC, thankfully I'm upgrading soon™, but that depends on Z370 and Volta

There's many sites nowadays that this happens on  https://us.cnn.com/ is one https://bbc.co.uk is another there are literally tons of sites where this occurs and it's not the adverts that cause it just pick a web page (for example the Home page of each).

Try those sites as they are now and use waybackmachine to test out a page from about 10 years ago (for example) and use different browsers from the old Netscape through to a current IE / Edge / Chrome / FireFox etc and you'll see a huge leap in the amount of browser memory being used in the current sites compared to how they used to be designed.

My question is, is it a case of the browsers or the web pages that cause it and what exactly is doing this. Bloatware in the browser or background (hidden) code in the webpage?

It's possible, but there is no need for it as the old browsers will still show the content of a current webpage just without js so why use it.
