This is part of the reason why I generally advise caution when it comes to lazy-loading. Low-end-device users generally expect their machines to run hot while a site loads, and have come up with workflows for that (e.g. opening 15 links and making coffee while the pages load); sidestepping that by making the page continuously need extra bandwidth, CPU, and interaction just makes for a miserable experience.

Idk what Home Depot's website is made on but boy, I tried to go to it on my phone the other day and I might as well have just gone to the store instead. It had to refresh like 4 different times searching for something and god forbid if you click on the wrong thing while the whole page is jumping around loading.

Good question. I wonder which framework aimed at non-technical people is the lightest in terms of resources.

Sometimes I think advertising supported sites do that jumping around on purpose.
