i am getting so sick of not being able to figure out what in god's name is making my website so freaking laggy on my work laptop (outside of the fact that it has low specs). this means it's lagging for ppl who have similar specs on their devices. i've tried everything, and i seriously can't figure it out. i go to other folkses websites and they don't lag in any capacity. what is wrong with my website?!?!?!

i've pored over my code an obscene amount of times, i've rewritten a ton of the code, i've partitioned the code into separate files for easier loading times, and nothing. i can't figure it out and it's driving me insane. i seriously need some assistance and troubleshooting help with this, because i'm losing my mind and i want my website to function without lagging!!!!!!

i've also had folks suggest that it's the CSS animations/keyframes, or the transitions/transforms i've coded, but like, nothing i have is all that intensive, so it really shouldn't be doing this??? i've seen people's websites that have far more animations and keyframes coded than my site, so what the hell is wrong with my code?

^^^^ it could be images, i started using https://imagecompressor.com on every image on my site and its made a big difference. You can also add loading="lazy" to img to lazy load initially off screen images

img compression and lazy loading is a friend (i use squoosh for mine personally but as long as sizes are nuked its all good). sadly loading times are a nightmare to sort out

thank you for all of the pointers!! i've gotten the heartwave image compressed even more, and i'm going to add the lazy loading to all of the images. i do want to just clarify that the issue i am having is with regard to genuine lag of the website, it really seems to bog down the cpu and makes me feel like my computer is a dinosaur. i don't know what could be causing it, i'm losing my mind trying to troubleshoot ;_;

Plus, in my experience, SIM cards are software-dependent, so I'm pretty sure that under most phone plans, a third party Android client wouldn't work as a phone. Which, like, I'm sorry, but "dephoning" is a lot of extra expense and e-waste and simply not practical. It's posturing, not an activist statement.

I looked into the "sustainable smartphones" before settling on Moto for being a relatively low-nonsense Android fork, but found that they don't work on reasonably priced North American phone plans, or in some cases, any at all. Plus if you need to order the replacement parts from overseas, that kinda removes the environmental benefit.

good news is that you should still be able to download things direct from APK if you load them in browser / on your desktop long as sideloading apps is enabled in phone settings, which even iOS still lets you do I think with direct download if you know where to look

I know that most android phones (even google pixel), you can open as drives and copy files directly to / from on Windows and Linux, so that's always an option as long as you can download APKs directly on desktop. hopefully APKMirror and pals step up to preserve emulators, F-Droid, etc.

if you want to be able to install apps straight from web browser, you should be able to enable "install unknown apps" or something of that sort in app settings for your browser of choice. you may need to also enable installing apps from APK in developer options depending on your specific phone model. on most droids, if you go into "about phone" and click the build number a bunch of times it'll enable developer option

Do we have a date for when the verification is happening, so folks know to install emulators etc. before then? (thinking about flappy bird getting kicked off the app store back in the day and the market in phones with it already installed)

while this indisputably sucks, since that's the main thing Android had over iOS, I suspect that direct APK downloads will continue to work indefinitely because of their importance to development, so get your faves onto APK Mirror and other databases if they aren't already!
