Achieving great site speed is not just a coincidence, as there are lots of efforts being put in to get there. Choosing the right tech tools for the job, optimizing the code for performance, and maintaining it all besides scaling up, all require a lot of competency and planning.
For me, the fastest sites are Google, Twitter, and DEV.
Regarding to DEV, I would recommend reading these blog posts by the co-founder @ben, explaining behind the scenes stuff:
What are the fastest sites you visit daily?

localhost:3000
Hahaha, home sweet home 💯😄😄
Quite literally.
Dope comment!!
React?
Express actually. Well all express apps run at 3000 by default.
Thanks. I usually using Svelte with port 5000. So, I forgot what port 3000 using to. Hahhhah
I love Svelte ❤ Have you checked out Sapper as well? 😉
I created my own Svelte template for my personal needs

Dev .to is quite fast as well. Also, another fastest site I noticed is GitHub .com
dev.to uses preact, they are taking good advantage of it. Also caching plays a major role when you revisit.
Speed and great UX have always been two of the main factors making the website appealing to me 😉 Great to see they are distributing Forem, that is heavily oriented towards that 👍
Link preloading on focus/hover plays a pretty big part in the speed feeling as well
If you're curious, you can check your network tab for requests when you hover/focus any link on the site.
do you have any reference for this? googling this concept didn't return anything relevant.
Instant Click docs from docs.forem.com are not extensive but they can get you started on how Forem does it 🌞
Agree 👍 Github is among the fastest as well 😉
preactjs.com/. Fastest website I've ever visited
Whoah, that's the speed demon! I need to check Preact on my side project or in some playground. :D
It's lightning-fast, indeed ⚡
Even Gatsby, that famously uses 'blazing fast' to describe their product, can't keep up 😄😄
Yeah I know. I love Static Site Generators (like Gatsby) btw but preact is so fast/lightweight 😄
Dev.to and SpaceHey (a myspace clone launched a few days ago).
Mrzool said (on the hackernews comments):
The first answer (by userbinator) explain the speed pretty well:
⚡ google
⚡ dev.to
🐌 producthunt is not so fast
⚡ github
⚡ theverge
⚡ my website qainsights :)
It'd be my own: msfjarvis.dev. I don't browse its actual contents daily but I do frequently use the redirects I built into it, which makes links such as msfjarvis.dev/aps and msfjarvis.dev/g/redirekt possible.
Good job on it 👍 Minimalistic, easy to navigate, great contrast, and most importantly snappy ⚡
I envy you, living in china I don't know fast internet.
but I found taobao.com is crszy fast, even when it load 300 requests on the search result page.
Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan have awesome speeds near you, as far as I know 😉
Dev.to is very fast 🌱☕
Ikr 😉 Great to see the Forem team caring about their users and their experience on the site 😉 Various tech solutions are there for a reason, and the team did (and still do) an awesome job putting the puzzle pieces together ⚡
I had done my answer in my mind before reading the post actually. I totally agree with you. I had thought just about DEV though.
Cheers,
I dunno if my site is "fast".
....But feel free to test! >:D
