I feel like webrings is one of the things that makes pages slow. I have my webrings page seperate for like ages and I still measure it time to time because I also put a page load time info on that page, and I usually get from 10 seconds to reaching 3 minutes for 27 webrings (15 widget-based, 12 link-only), and I still getting Lighthouse results on my webring page that it has one of the worst performances on my site.
@jbcarreon123 yeah, scripts like onionring are pretty much the worst thing you can do for perfomance, it irks me so much that so many webrings still use it even though there are several much better options available!!

@gorciu do you mean reactions instead of comments or reactions to the comments themselves?

perhaps similar to a guestbook, with mandatory name and optional site link / email! and perhaps some basic guarding features against spam?
