A long time ago in a galaxy far away

I just stumbled across this page and was highly impressed because speed of loading, graphics and unusual design.

Rather cute. Seems just a bunch of images, which I guess are well optimized, but still chew up a bit of bandwidth, all the same.

OMG, when I was scrolling through that website, it kind of reminded me of this because I got freaked out the first time I heard the noise this comic made since I was reading it just like I was reading those space ships.

WARNING!!!


Don’t scroll down if you are scared or alone at night.

Very impressive, and I’m only a fraction of the way through yet. I need to see this on my big screen, rather than my iPad.

Didn’t load for me :frowning:

Yes rather cute and it makes a pleasant change to see how it is possible to have such a fast loading “heavy” site. Bandwidth is only chewed if you scroll to the bottom :slight_smile:

Pingdom reports for the Stockholm Server:
188 Requests took 1.17 seconds load time for 68.6 MB

I was also most surprised to learn it is a “WordPress 4.5” site!!!

Definitely worth investigating for users who have a slow loading WordPress site.

If they had created it all with SVGs it could be really lightweight and fast.
PNG isn’t bad when using lots of flat colours, but svg is the daddy for that.
