in thread Using CGI::Ajax for multiple form buttons/divs simultaneously

I appreciate the contribution of your opinion. A nice website I found addressing the impact of jQuery's size was this one:

https://modernweb.com/is-jquery-too-big-for-mobile/.

That website backs up my assertions regarding the benefit of avoiding jQuery. I know my target audience and situation. My clients will be mostly on older Android phones in an otherwise 1 Mbps-dominated third-world country, and they will be accessing this application through a server on the other side of the world, almost maximizing the latency of the connection. Given the particular circumstances I'm dealing with, it's worth the effort for me to make AJAX work. Plus, I get to learn how to implement AJAX.

Blessings,

    That website backs up my assertions

    It also says know/test your audience, and that amazon and other big money sites should be super fast

    Every other day I visit the big money sites amazon/ebay/walmart.. and they're all much much much slower than the worst case scenario presented in that website

    So avoiding jquery cause some random website argues its costing you sales based on ancient nonsense , is not a good way to back up your assertions , it simple confirmation bias

      hehe, I just finished reading the article, it makes the same point, don't consider ditching jquery until you've optimized everything else
