I have the feeling that most of modern websites use too many cpu&gpu resources. My computer is just 5 years old and each time I visit a modern website my computer really suffers.
Please designers and engineers, I don't own the last macbook pro with maxed out specs and my internet connection is quite normal.
Start creating for the rest of us who don't have the resources or interest in upgrading the computer every couple of years!
It's not just web pages, modern software engineers just make terribly unoptimised programs. Why does a recent game on a powerful pc take longer to open that old DOS games? Not just loading a level, but even getting to the start screen takes ages. Wtf takes 20+ seconds to show a menu of New - Load - Options.... (drm probably)
I do own the latest MacBook Pro and have a mesh network with 300 Mbps downloads speeds and even I have started finding it painfully slow to load my banking website, cnn, etc. In particular layout shift has become awful and I often click on the wrong link as the page is still loading and widgets are being rearranged on the page.
