Hey HN community,

I would love to hear your raw-unfiltered feedback of my landing page & product so that I can re-iterate and become better at building products and design.

The page makes 50+ network requests when opened. It takes 10+ seconds to fully load on a regular 3G connection.

I agree just tried now with a 3G connection and it takes around 10 seconds.

I think I can optimize this by implementing a caching mechanism (CDN) and do some NextJS magic.

But yeah I agree 32+ requests on a page load is insane and I need to fix that. Will keep in mind to check the devtools for slow network connections before pushing a new release from now.

For now I will use a Content Delivery Network and try optimizing my assets.

If you have any more feedback, please feel free to mention them down.
